Scott O'Grady
Scott Francis O'Grady (born October 12, 1965) is a former USAF Captain and former United States Air Force fighter pilot who gained prominence after the June 2, 1995 Mrkonjić Grad incident, in which he ejected over Bosnia when his F-16C was shot down by a Bosnian Serb SA-6 while he was patrolling the no-fly zone. He also participated in the Banja Luka incident where he fired upon one enemy aircraft. The film Behind Enemy Lines is loosely based upon his experiences.
In Sept. 2011, O'Grady announced a run for the 2012 Republican nomination for Texas State Senate District 8, but he later suspended his campaign due to uncertainties over the Texas redistricting fight.
