One crew member was rescued in a daring combat search-and-rescue mission, while the other-a weapons systems officer-remains unaccounted for. CNN, ever the reliable source, verified images of low-flying rescue aircraft over Khuzestan Province, because nothing says “we’re here to help” like buzzing a war zone at treetop level.
