He teaches her family and husband King Hussein of Jordan how to fly a balloon. She calls him to seek help flying blankets and other supplies to Amman, Jordan for refuges from Iraq. After the initial mission, Richard flies to Amman to spend three days with the king and his family to determine what else he can do to help. He drafts a letter to Saddam Hussein for the king to send him, asking for the release of hostages, which Saddam agrees to do.
