In February 2011, Michael Sileo was a near 20-year veteran of the NYPD. A member of the Aviation Unit since 2005, never had he had a call quite like the one he received in February 2011.
Two Cadets from West Point lost in the mountains during the crescendo of a brutally cold winter. Taking off into the night and by extension, the unknown, Sileo and company embarked on a mission that if failed, would’ve meant death for the two doomed hikers. His story in detail here from an outstanding Episode 342 of the Mic’d In New Haven Podcast.
Outro Song: The Steve Miller Band – Fly Like An Eagle (1976)
