A central element of the myth of [Eleanor of Aquitaine] is that of her exceptionalism. Historians and Eleanor biographers have tended to take literally Richard of Devizes’s conventional panegyric of her as ‘an incomparable woman’ [and] a woman out of her time. […] Amazement at Eleanor’s power and independence is born from a presentism that assumes generally that the Middle Ages were a backward age, and specifically that medieval women were all downtrodden and marginalized. Eleanor’s career can, from such a perspective, only be explained by assuming that she was an exception who rose by sheer force of personality above the restrictions placed upon twelfth-century women.
-Michael R. Evans, Inventing Eleanor: The Medieval and Post-Medieval Image of Eleanor of Aquitaine
"...The idea of Eleanor’s exceptionalism rests on an assumption that women of her age were powerless. On the contrary, in Western Europe before the twelfth century there were ‘no really effective barriers to the capacity of women to exercise power; they appear as military leaders, judges, castellans, controllers of property’. […] In an important article published in 1992, Jane Martindale sought to locate Eleanor in context, stripping away much of the conjecture that had grown up around her, and returning to primary sources, including her charters. Martindale also demonstrated how Eleanor was not out of the ordinary for a twelfth-century queen either in the extent of her power or in the criticisms levelled against her.
If we look at Eleanor’s predecessors as Anglo-Norman queens of England, we find many examples of women wielding political power. Matilda of Flanders (wife of William the Conqueror) acted as regent in Normandy during his frequent absences in England following the Conquest, and [the first wife of Henry I, Matilda of Scotland, played some role in governing England during her husband's absences], while during the civil war of Stephen’s reign Matilda of Boulogne led the fight for a time on behalf of her royal husband, who had been captured by the forces of the empress. And if we wish to seek a rebel woman, we need look no further than Juliana, illegitimate daughter of Henry I, who attempted to assassinate him with a crossbow, or Adèle of Champagne, the third wife of Louis VII, who ‘[a]t the moment when Henry II held Eleanor of Aquitaine in jail for her revolt … led a revolt with her brothers against her son, Philip II'.
Eleanor is, therefore, less the exception than the rule – albeit an extreme example of that rule. This can be illustrated by comparing her with a twelfth century woman who has attracted less literary and historical attention. Adela of Blois died in 1137, the year of Eleanor’s marriage to Louis VII. […] The chronicle and charter evidence reveals Adela to have ‘legitimately exercised the powers of comital lordship’ in the domains of Blois-Champagne, both in consort with her husband and alone during his absence on crusade and after his death. […] There was, however, nothing atypical about the nature of Adela’s power. In the words of her biographer Kimberley LoPrete, ‘while the extent of Adela’s powers and the political impact of her actions were exceptional for a woman of her day (and indeed for most men), the sources of her powers and the activities she engaged in were not fundamentally different from those of other women of lordly rank’. These words could equally apply to Eleanor; the extent of her power, as heiress to the richest lordship in France, wife of two kings and mother of two or three more, was remarkable, but the nature of her power was not exceptional. Other noble or royal women governed, arranged marriages and alliances, and were patrons of the church. Eleanor represents one end of a continuum, not an isolated outlier."
#It had to be said!#eleanor of aquitaine#historicwomendaily#angevins#my post#12th century#gender tag#adela of blois#I think Eleanor's prominent role as dowager queen during her sons' reigns may have contributed to her image of exceptionalism#Especially since she ended up overshadowing both her sons' wives (Berengaria of Navarre and Isabella of Angouleme)#But once again if we examine Eleanor in the context of her predecessors and contemporaries there was nothing exceptional about her role#Anglo-Saxon consorts before the Norman Conquest (Eadgifu; Aelfthryth; Emma of Normandy) were very prominent during their sons' reigns#Post-Norman queens were initially never kings' mothers because of the circumstances (Matilda of Flanders; Edith-Matilda; and#Matilda of Boulogne all predeceased their husbands; Adeliza of Louvain never had any royal children)#But Eleanor's mother-in-law Empress Matilda was very powerful and acted as regent of Normandy during Henry I's reign#Which was a particularly important precedent because Matilda's son - like Eleanor's sons after him - was an *adult* when he became King.#and in France Louis VII's mother Adelaide of Maurienne was certainly very powerful and prominent during Eleanor's own queenship#Eleanor's daughter Joan's mother-in-law Margaret of Navarre had also been a very powerful regent of Sicily#(etc etc)#So yeah - in itself I don't think Eleanor's central role during her own sons' reigns is particularly surprising or 'exceptional'#Its impact may have been but her role in itself was more or less the norm

David Nellist
Physique: Average Build Height: 5’5″ (165cm)
David Nellist is an English actor. He has worked in film television and theatre for over that 20 years, appearing in Sherlock (2010), 55 Degrees North (2004) and The Gambling Man (1995).
A very cute and cuddly daddy, I personally would waste no time getting him into bed. Like most of the world, I discovered David in the 2024 film Sebastian where his character gets serviced by a writer/sex worker, stripping down to get banged in bed from behind and in missionary. Hopefully, he could parlay that into more screen time in demand worldwide (and not just in demand in my bedroom!).
Born in the small town of Wallsend in Northeast England, Dave trained at Rose Bruford College just outside of London before kicking off his acting career on both stage and screen. His first television appearance came in 1992 in an episode of the series Spender and he’d go on to racking up over a dozen more TV credits before making his big screen debut in the 2011 crime drama Sket.
I know very little of his personal life. Looks like he's married with a child, SO… he is most likely straight, but he works in the theatre so I can live in hope.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Sebastian (2024) A Confession (TV Mini Series 2019) Sherlock (TV Series 2010–2016) 55 Degrees North (TV Series 2004–2005) The Gambling Man (1995)

No one asked for this, but I really needed to infodump about him to someone or I was gonna go insane.
˙⋆✮ Info about my CoD oc, 'Dawn'! ✮⋆˙
⚠️Warning!⚠️ There will be a lot of words and one image containing (mild) nudity below the cut. (A shirtless man, in case you are uncomfortable with such)
The first image is a reference for the finer details of his character such as his hairstyle, his facial details like his nose and eyes, and his major scars.
The second image is more of how I envisioned his body type, but I struggle with consistency and being able to convey some bodies in different angles and intricate poses.
——————————————————————————
These are just some drawings I've made of his character as I was developing him.
While he is a rather calm individual, being stoic and silent most of the time, he does still get rather angry on the inside. Which is what I was trying to convey in the first image.
He respects his peers and superiors, but when they do legitimately stupid shit, he can and will rock their shit depending on how bad it was.
I've included this in his lore before but I am too nervous to share some of the finer details of his lore and will only be vaguely referencing it, sorry ☹️🫶
——————————————————————————
I made a janky, very brief timeline of his career above.
Now, I haven't filed through complete details so some things such as his rank and experience in the field may or may not be entirely accurate with the time he was working especially since I made his character on the fly and did little to no research at first. Only now am I actually trying to expand his character and lore and am realizing I did not do nearly enough research. Most of this is just what I thought sounded nice at first.
——————————————————————————
More in-detail information below ↓
Name: Julius Harper Aliases: Dawn, 7-28
Nationality: Filipino Ethnicity: Eastern Asian
Age: 32 DoB: June 19, 1992
Pronouns: He/Him Gender: Cis Man Sex: M
Sexuality: Unlabeled, prefers men
Height: 6'2
Languages: Tagalog, English, FSL (Filipino sign language, for Dusk)
Which CoD universe: Modern Warfare (ii)
Branches of Service: Marine Corps
Affiliation: Shadow Company
Specialities: hand to hand, a variety of front line infantry skills, long range, basic first aid
Personality: usually grumpy and quiet. switches between sassy, rude, and teasing(towards close people) and quiet, obedient, and stoic. He's technically a strong and silent type around most people, usually very distrusting and distant. He's very good at following orders unless they're outright stupid, then he'll put up a fight about them.
Backstory: (my attempt at being brief, sorry🙏) given to an (underground) training organization with unconventional training methods at a young age, was tortured and ridiculed for disobeying (his scars on his face and chest🫶), escaped with force when he was 17(nearly 18). Had to travel by himself to the US and rely on strangers to get him there (no money in his name).
Eventually joined the Marines at 20, met Dusk (his Colonel). Blah blah blah, went up the ranks. At 28 he dragged Dusk out of the field half exploded and left the Marines soon after Dusk did. Joined Shadow Company 🫶
Issues: PTSD, nightmares, paranoia, nervous at being touched randomly
Habits: never takes off his mask unless he's REALLY comfortable, sleeps with it on more often than not. Hovers close to people he likes cause he doesn't like to reach out and touch people, settling on subtle hands on shoulders or light brushes of skin. Watches and evaluates anyone and everyone in the same room as him, constantly searching for any red flags or threats.
Scars: One over each eye (resembling clown markings)
One running over his bottom lip and down his chin.
One running from his collar bone to below his navel.
A mix of bullet, knife, and other scars from his field work scattered over his arms and hands.
Preferred method of showing care/affection/love language: acts of service, quality time, ("secretly") physical touch.
Preferred way of receiving care/affection: words of affirmation, physical touch
Eye Color: left eye pale yellow with brown center, right eye green with yellow center. has heterochromia
Hair description: short and dusty brown with two streaks of early greying. Two long pieces in front of either ear, short in the back.
Clothing description: SC Uniform - beige tactical vest stocked with red and yellow(ish) glow sticks(?, I forgot the actual name for it), roll of thin rope, and three mags. Black, long-sleeve zip-neck shirt with the shadow company insignia on the sleeve. Black balaclava, black helmet and goggles with attachable headphones connected to comms. Black tactical cargo pants, black belt with two storage pouches attached at either side of his hips, and a right handed gun holster. Very dark brown/black combat boots.
Not in uniform - form fitting short-sleeve shirts and jeans most of the time. Occasionally switching it up for loose shirts when his compression shirts feel too tight and strangling for a casual day. He wears belts to at least make it seem like he cares about his outfits, even though he doesn't really put effort. Picking up whatever dark colored shirts and jeans he can find and calling it a day most of the time.
Body description: well-built Filipino man with hooded eyes. He has a bit of stubble along his jaw, forgetting to shave often. Freckles are speckled over his face, arms, neck and shoulders, and legs. Body hair over his chest, arms, and legs mainly. Occasionally lets other Shadows paint his nails when they ask (requests black but can't say no if they choose another) so sometimes has painted nails.
Favorite activities: sitting outside with nature, playing guitar, going to the bar with Dusk to spend time and catch up, reteaching Dusk guitar
Blood type: O
Favorite animal(s): Cats, snakes, birds in general
Favorite food/dessert: Pork Adobo, Graves' cooking (it's his guilty pleasure at cookouts, you can't convince me that Graves doesn't sit at a grill making food for his Shadows for a cookout on an off day)
• born in Marawi City; Mindanao, Philippines
——————————————————————————
He's generally like a big dog that doesn't realize it's own size, like a great Dane of sorts. Protective, loyal to a fault with aggressive tendencies towards those he doesn't know/trust. Silent and strong, unless he's with someone close to him (very few people in his original universe, maybe two people at most. Though I do headcanon him to be relatively close with the Shadows and Graves in my shadow company AU, being more welcoming with touch and close proximity but still acting grumpy like he doesn't want it, despite enjoying every brush or touch of skin to his.)
He enjoys his quiet time and regular meets up with an old friend of his, back from his Marine days, the both of them learning electric guitar and playing together sometimes to loosen up.
He's a workaholic all in all, not having many hobbies or activities out side of his work.
He lives at base, having been out on the streets before starting his career in the military.
——————————————————————————
He earned his scars on his face and chest when he was about 16-17, fleeing his state as soon as he was nearing 18 (lore reasons that I'm too nervous to share with people) and living on the streets with a lengthy theft history until he joined the Marines at 20 years old. Where he met his previously mentioned 'old friend', his Colonel, call sign 'Dusk'.
His shadow company number is 7-28. No I did not do research on the actual numbers, I just chose random ones that sounded nice on my tongue. Plus 28 is like,,, my number, if you couldn't tell by my user.
If anyone understands the number system better and would like to help me out by correcting me, I would appreciate that very much. But for now, it is Shadow 7-28.
His lore and titles were developed before I put him in Shadow Company canonically, so shit like him being a Lieutenant and other things that would require him to have years and years of experience to get would be from his career in the Marines before then. I'm assuming he would have to start fresh since he joined a new company? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believeeee he'd have to start fresh with SC with things like titles.
He does still keep his old mask since Dusk helped him with it, but now he really only wears the shadow company uniform and gear. Swapping his plain black balaclava for his old one with the skull-like details when he's back at base relaxing.
Smaller details about him!! ↓
Favorite color - Green !!
Favorite activities - sitting outside with nature, playing guitar, going to the bar with his found-family Brother (Dusk) to spend time and catch up
Favorite animal - cats ! Specifically black cats (he feels they're misunderstood)
• HATES ships and deep water
• used to (attempt to) pick up stray cats he found on the streets and try to bring them home as a kid.
• doesn't like training new recruits but is always put in charge of training them because of his leadership skills. (This happened to me in band a long while back, apparently my teacher thought I was a 'silent leader' and was really good at leading others subconsciously even if I hated being a leader??? That's him, that's Dawn. Silent leader)
• has nightmares frequently
• will deny liking someone, going as far as saying he hates them even if as soon as they leave the room he smiles on the inside because, hey! Someone wants to be close to him! That's new!
• tried drawing once, it looked like a kids drawing. he never picked up a pencil to draw again
• has really nice handwriting?? Wtf???
• He's a lieutenant!!
• spent years training to be a sniper that he's now unnecessarily still and silent while working on smaller tasks that require even the slightest bit of focus such as paperwork.
——————————————————————————
Info about 'Dusk' since he's a big part of their lore ↓
These are all the drawings I've done of him so far ↑
While I haven't gone deep into lore for him, I do have a few small facts about him that have played a part in Dawn's lore.
——————————————————————————
• He is 6'3, standing only an inch taller than Dawn.
• he was Dawn's Colonel for most of their career before they joined Shadow Company.
• just before Dawn had left to join SC, Dusk had gotten caught too close to an explosion. Having been dragged back to the base by Dawn himself and after healing, was left with very little sight and hearing on his left side. He struggled to be able to do many tasks that he needed to be able to complete to keep his job afterwards and had to quit.
• he cut off his long hair after the explosion burned off a lot of his hair, being left with very little long hair left on his right side. He felt it looked odd and cut it off so it could regrow at its own pace. Some parts of his scalp on his left side having damaged the actual skin there making it very hard/impossible to regrow it in some patches.
• he started learning guitar before joining the military, having been the one who inspired Dawn to learn and having lent Dawn their first ever guitar.
• was the one who gave Dawn his callsign
• he's Filipino, one of the many traits he and Dawn bonded over
• acts as Dawn's older brother later on in their career together after years of knowing each other. He has two siblings at home while Dawn is an only child
——————————————————————————
Fun fact! He was slightly based off of my older brother, named Dusk :)
While some parts of his character were based off of him, the name was surprisingly not, it just happened to match up with Dawn while I was making them 🫶
——————————————————————————
If you couldn't tell, Dawn is my baby and my favorite OC. I love him very much and will probably expand on his lore and such at some point, but for now, this is what we have.
Thank you if you read all of this ❤️

Phyllis Linda Hyman was an American singer-songwriter and actress, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania July 6, 1949. She was best known for her singles from the late 1970s through the early 1990s including: You Know How to Love Me, Living All Alone, and Don’t Wanna Change the World.
She performed on a national tour with the group, New Direction. Later she joined All the People while working with another group, The Hondo Beat. She made her acting debut in 1974 in the film Lenny. Hyman also led a group called Phyllis Hyman and the P/H Factor.
Hyman’s debut solo album named Phyllis Hyman was released in 1977 on Buddah Records. When Arista Records bought Buddah Records, she transferred to the new label and released four albums: Somewhere in My Lifetime (1979), You Know How to Love Me (1979), Can’t We Fall in Love Again? (1981), and Goddess of Love (1983).

Sue Lyon became famously reticent about speaking to the press after she stopped acting, giving a rare statement in 1996 that lambasted the effect Lolita had had in her life. "My destruction as a person dates from that movie," she said. "I defy any pretty girl who is rocketed to stardom at 14 in a sex-nymphet role to stay on a level path thereafter." While there have been appraisals of Nabokov's novel and Kubrick's film, Lyon has been markedly absent from the cultural conversation. James Fenwick, senior lecturer in the Department of Media Arts and Communication at Sheffield Hallam University, says that "what is missing from these studies is the voice of Lyon and of the way in which she experienced the production of Lolita. She is absent, silent, and silenced". Obvious parallels to the source novel arise here: in an essay titled The Art of Persuasion in Nabokov's Lolita, Nomi Tamir-Ghez writes that "not only is Lolita's voice silenced, her point of view, the way she sees the situation and feels about it, is rarely mentioned."
But I think being young in Hollywood – we've seen it 1,000 times with young actresses – they'll pull you to the top, let you do whatever you want, until you do one thing that's too much, and then they'll just destroy you."
Today, the iconography associated with Lolita (1962) has been adopted in varying degrees of earnest by wider pop culture. Those heart-shaped sunglasses, symbolic of knowingly babyish kitsch, have become a stand in for "sex-kitten" tendencies – wilfully ignoring the dark elements of the story it cribs from.
By making his version of Dolores a wordly participant, Kubrick's adaptation set off a domino effect that continues to poison pop culture to this day. She appears in the lyrics of the song Don't Stand So Close to Me by The Police, that details a teacher's sexual attraction to one of his students, in which one lyric reads: "He sees her / He starts to shake and cough / Just like the old man in / That book by Nabokov". Or she rears her head as the sordid moniker used to describe disgraced sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's private jet: the "Lolita Express". In 1992, Ellen Von Unwerth shot Kate Moss for Glamour Italia, in a cover and spread titled "Charming Lolita". In the photos, 18-year-old Moss is styled with a red lollipop, a doll, ringlet curls – years earlier, John Galliano had selected the 15-year-old to open his show as his "Lolita", launching her career as a forever-young waif. This alone reflects how the word has become a stand-in for a young girl who is a willing participant in her own premature sexualisation.
The troubling legacy of the Lolita story, 60 years on

jang siwoo – dad
born: 12 january 1956
status: college maths professor
phone contact: dad/harin
the way this man spoils her… she’s a daddy’s girl for sure. he had always been more understanding about harin’s dreams between him and his wife, but would gently coax her to do what eunkyung wanted
when harin told her parents about being casted for sm, he was hesitant but could see how excited she was, so he spoke with eunkyung about it to change her mind. siwoo always encouraged harin to follow her dreams and would rent out musicals from their local blockbuster for them to watch together
she stayed in close contact with her dad when she was a trainee and they would call every week and just give updates on life. he was the first person she told when she was added to girls’ generation and she sent him their debut album. he’s always supported her and would brag about her to his students
their relationship is very sweet and she’s really just his baby girl
son eunkyung – mom
born: 25 july 1961
status: emergency room doctor
phone contact: mum/harin
she was kind of hard on harin. their relationship was sweeter when she was younger, but by the time she was nine, their relationship had begun to sour. eunkyung was very against harin having a career in the arts and tried to steer her to becoming a doctor. when harin told her she wanted to be an idol, they fought about it for a week before coming to an agreement
harin’s relationship with her mom didn’t improve for a while. they rarely spoke on the phone and would only hear how the other was doing through hajooon and siwoo. harin visited her family for the first time on mother’s day in 2011 and it ended in an arguments between the mother and daughter, and they didn’t speak to each other for two years after
they started mending their relationship in late 2014 when eunkyung sent harin a message to encourage her through the hate she was receiving for her relationship with jungshin. they slowly began to talk to each other again and saw each other for the first time at hajoon’s university graduation. they ended up getting a drink together and just talking about everything and mended their relationship
their relationship nowadays is very sweet and is the relationship harin wished they always had
harrison blake hajoon jang – brother
born: 7 december 1992
status: restaurant owner
phone contact: jang hajoon/harin noona
this is her baby, she basically raised him. no, but seriously. hajoon is her baby brother and she takes such good care of him. when they were younger, they were so so so close and harin was constantly taking care of him. as they grew older, hajoon became protective of harin but she told him to stop bcs… he’s a baby in her eyes
he was super sad when she left to go to korea to be a trainee but he understood that she was living out her dream so he tried to be happy for her. whenever harin would call her dad, hajoon would also talk to her for a while before they hung up. harin was the first person hajoon told about wanting to be a chef and own a restaurant, and she supported him every step of the way. she supported him whenever he was struggling in culinary school, she helped him buy the building for his restaurant, and she is an investor in the restaurant
they still have a close relationship and talk often
jang poppins – dog
born: august 2018
breed: cavalier king charles spaniel
harin found poppins when she was driving home one day and saw him on the road. he was a little puppy and looked very small and injured. harin took him to a vet check him out and make sure he was healthy, and ended up having to leave him overnight
when she returned the next day, the vet said he had improved a lot. harin ended up adopting him two days later. when she first got poppins, he would always stick to her side at all times. he was very nervous around strangers and would growl at them a lot (he still does tbh)
after five months, poppins got more comfortable and felt safer, so he began to act like a normal puppy and now, in present time, they’re absolute besties!

Jack McGee
Physique: Husky Build Height: 5'5" (1.65 m)
John J. McGee (born February 2, 1949) is an American television and film character actor who has appeared in over 100 films and television series. He is best known as Chief Jerry Reilly on the television series Rescue Me. In 2010, he co-starred as Hickey on the Spike TV comedy series Players. He is also known for The Fighter, Gangster Squad, Basic Instinct and Moneyball.
Built like a fireplug with his classic working stiff features and gravelly raspy voice has landed McGee countless roles, usually playing gruff, blue-collar guys characters. All in all, he basically looked like a young Charles Durning, another hot chubby daddy I admired. Over the years he has been at the centre of so many of my dirty little fantasies.
Born in the South Bronx, New York, McGee attended Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx, where he was class president and also played on the Football team, and appeared as a member of the background harmony in The Young Rascals. In 1977, he became a firefighter for the New York City Fire Department in order to pursue his acting career. As a firefighter, he served 10 years with FDNY Engine Co. 89 and Ladder Co. 50 in the Bronx. His first major role was in the 1985 firefighter film Turk 182.
McGee lives in Los Angeles, Studio City, CA with his wife, Stephanie and their four rescue dogs. He's apparently happily married, but there's something about him, makes me think he would fool around with a man (the things he says and he likes to jokingly kiss guys). It's kind of weird how you imagine certain things about a guy, but he strikes me as the kind of guy you could spend hours doing in every position until he cums. Now I do have to say, this is all the imaginings of my furtive mind because he is probably a very nice and respectable man. He just doesn't come across that way.
Anyway, I prefer the kinky, sordid version, that his marriage is just a cover story. No-one correct me.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Silver Skies (2016) - Shirtless pool scene. Gangster Squad (2013) Moneyball (2011) The Fighter (2010) No Place Like Home (2008) - Rear nudity, shirtless bath scene. Rescue Me (TV Series 2004 - 2007) - Sex scene Miracle on 34th Street (1994) - Rear nudity. Basic Instinct (1992) Backdraft (1991) - Shirtless scene. Crash and Burn (1990) - Shirtless scene.

Bob Pardo, Vietnam War pilot famous for Pardo’s Push maneuver, dies at 89
Jonathan Snyder
Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Robert Pardo is known for carrying out an unorthodox aviation maneuver, later coined the Pardo Push, to save the lives of his wingmen during a bombing mission over Vietnam on March 10, 1967.

Bob Pardo, who left his mark in Air Force history for using an unorthodox maneuver, Pardo’s Push, to save his wingmen’s lives during a bombing mission over Vietnam, died Dec. 5. He was 89.
On March 10, 1967, Pardo and weapons officer 1st Lt. Steve Wayne were on a bombing run on an enemy steel mill north of Hanoi in an F-4C Phantom, flying alongside Capt. Earl Aman and 1st Lt. Robert Houghton.
The target — North Vietnam’s only steel mill dedicated to war materiel — was heavily guarded by anti-aircraft guns and artillery.
During the mission, ground fire damaged both Pardo’s and Aman’s Phantoms, causing both to lose fuel. However, Aman lost too much to return safely to base, and Pardo knew he had to act quickly, according to a 2007 recounting of the mission by Gen. T. Michael Mosely, then the chief of staff of the Air Force.
“I knew if I didn’t do anything, they would have to eject over North Vietnam into enemy territory, and that would have resulted in their capture for sure,” Pardo said in a 2015 interview for the Air Force Veterans in Blue program. “At that time, if you were captured by civilians, you were probably going to be murdered on the spot.”
Pardo decided to push Aman’s plane using the nose of his aircraft against Aman’s tailhook, a retractable hook on the underside of the plane used for arrested landings.
He managed to decrease the rate of descent of Aman’s jet by 1,500 feet per minute, and they successfully reached friendly territory. Both air crews safely ejected over the Laotian border and were rescued by friendly forces.

The Air Force at first reprimanded Pardo for further damaging his aircraft. Twenty years later, he received the Silver Star for his actions in the aerial rescue.
Pardo was born in 1934 in Herne, Texas, and began his Air Force career in 1954 at age 19. After flight school, he flew the Phantom during the Vietnam War, logging 132 flying missions.
He retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1974. In addition to the Silver Star, his awards include the Distinguished Flying Cross with Oak Leaf Cluster, Purple Heart, Air Medal with twelve Oak Leaf Clusters and the Meritorious Service Medal.
Pardo is survived by his wife, Kathryn, whom he married on March 7, 1992, five children and 10 grandchildren.

Cruise enters the scene and stalks up to his father with exaggerated cheer. He reverts into his offensive position — the hands-on-hips macho stage pose — but Cruise lets his nerves slip: he’s breathing too heavy, baring his teeth, and tapping his foot loudly just out of frame. Then the hurt rolls in like a fog. Cruise puts his superhuman body control to work. His lips purse; he shakes imperceptibly and clasps his hands together so hard that the knuckles turn white. Just as he vows, “I am not going to cry,” Cruise tilts his head to the ceiling, perfectly placed so the light catches a tear seconds before it spills across his face. As he collapses into sobs, a vein pops in his forehead, his face turns painfully red, and by the time he hollers, “Don’t go away, you fucking asshole!” Cruise is heaving like a hurt animal. The whole arc happens in just under two minutes, and it’s arguably the best two minutes of acting in Cruise’s career.
“The whole time with the character, I was skating on the edge,” acknowledged Cruise. The personal parallels between him and Mackey were closer than he cared to admit. In a strikingly candid 1992 interview with GQ, Cruise described his final moments with his father and presaged the same struggles Mackey would face seven years later. “When people can’t forgive someone, my question always is, ‘What have you done in your life that you can’t forgive this other person?’” asked Cruise. “The things you’ve got to take responsibility for in your life, it makes forgiveness quite easy. And it also brought me a lot of understanding about him and the pain he was in.”
But by the time Magnolia earned him his third Academy Award nomination, Cruise had clammed up about his father. Back on the awards circuit, and this time all but certain that the Oscar was his, he wanted to build protective distance between himself and the script. And why risk voters thinking he wasn’t really “acting”?
Again, Cruise lost. He’d ripped his life open for a tightly crafted, stunningly raw performance. And it still wasn’t enough. Cruise was done chasing Oscars — now it was time to have fun.
