On June 2, , he was shot down over Bosnia and Herzegovina by a 2K12 Kub (NATO designation SA-6 "Gainful") mobile SAM launcher and forced to eject from his FC into hostile territory. US Marines from heavy-helicopter squadron HMH and the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit[1][a] eventually rescued O'Grady after nearly a week of his evading the Bosnian Serbs.
He was previously involved in the Banja Luka incident when he had fired upon six enemy aircraft. The film Behind Enemy Lines is loosely based upon his experience.
In September , O'Grady announced a run for the Republican nomination for Texas State SenateDistrict 8, held at the time by the retiring Republican Florence Shapiro,[2] but he later suspended his campaign because of uncertainties over the Texas redistricting fight.[3]
