Rob,

The HC-130's (NOT P's but H's in those days) were equipped with the same
Fulton Recovery system. But NOT for picking anyone out of the sea -- or
even a life raft because of the size & weight of the two required helium
bottles, suit/harness, and 500' lift line. Nor did anyone except our
Special Operations MC-130's keep the equipment operational nor have the
recovery mission assigned.

My outfit, the 15th SOS, stationed at Nha Trang, had the ground-to-air
recovery responsibility for all of the Pacific region. That's why I had
blanket worldwide travel orders with me at all times. The only man
recovery I personally flew was a demonstration for the Jungle Survival
School at the base of Mt. Penatubo in the Phillippines -- the 148th in the
"record book".
