Ken,

My TDY in mid 1968 with the 39th ARRS which conflicts with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/39th_Rescue_Squadron and
the aircraft we had were HC-130P modified to refuel helicopters as per: http://www.aero-web.org/specs/lockheed/hc-130p.htm

My memory is extremely foggy but I "heard" that there were attempts at picking up downed pilots but were never successful. The rapid
acceleration pilots were subjected to when lifted caused injuries. Supposedly the got one up onto the open rear ramp but when they
disconnected him from the rescue cable he fell back out of the aircraft.

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".

Ken H.
