A SAR helicopter was sent to search for possible survivors just in case Capt Tucci or Maj Dennany had been able to escape from their aircraft. The helicopter was damaged by ground fire and a flight of F-4Es from Korat arrived to provide cover for the rescue forces. Unfortunately, one of the Phantoms (call sign Packard) was also shot down by 37mm anti-aircraft fire near Ban Senphan and the crew was killed.
