there was also a similar incident during the Korean "conflict" involving 2 F-100s, but it ended tragically because after successfully pushing the crippled Sabre to where the pilot could safely eject over water, the ground and air rescue crews got into a fight over whose turn it was to make the pick up, while they were bickering, the pilot, Joe Logan iirc, got tangled up in his parachute lines and drown
