Operation Frequent Wind Fall of Saigon Marine Association

Cessna?
Google, so simple to use: (nzwarbirds.org.nz): A South Vietnamese Air Force major squeezed his wife and five children into the cockpit of a Bird Dog and took off from Con Son Island. With his fuel running low, the major spotted the aircraft carrier USS Midway and a dropped note requesting permission to land. The deck was cleared and a Vietnamese interpreter communicated with the major by radio. He made a slow approach and successful landing despite the fact that, not only had he never landed on an aircraft carrier before, he had never even seen one.
Heres a link i found of the storey of the guy last off the roof at the American embassy in Saigon. http://www.fallofsaigon.org/lastto.htm
