The original posting from yesterday had random 15 minutes of black from the render. 🤷 Fixed! :-)

The system was also used in the 1968 John Wane Vietnam movie "The Green Berets".

That's what I was about to point out.

Another great tale told by Whistler, Simon Whistler...

The Fulton extraction really got an upgrade when they switched over to using wormhole technology for it.

The movie Ice Station Zebra comes to mind.

There was actually about 3 minutes of music right at the end of the black screen, it might have been the background music heard on this reupload.

It actually first shows up in MGS3, but is used more extensively in Portable Ops and 5.

Richard Marcinko reported using the skyhook system on several clandestine SEAL missions.

Also used in The Green Berets.

For this kind of recovery to succeed, having a good luck is also needed

The system was also featured in the Movie "The Green Berets" Staring John Wayne

I was stationed with a TAC Combat Air Control detachment and we were briefed on this as a last resort extraction optione. The good news, we wouldn't be captued. The bad news was we may have spine injuries :(

I've played MGS and I've seen The Dark Knight, I know enough about the Fulton to know it's pretty neat.

as always...BRILLIANT!!!

It was also used in John Wayne's The Green Berets.

Great video! I might be wrong but I seem to recall seeing a video about a downed US pilot in Vietnam being retrieved by Skyhook.

The Fulton recovery device was also seen in the movie “The Green Berets” with John Wayne, Jack Soo and George Takei.

Yes it was! I always thought it was just film fun, but now I know it's a real thing.

Sorry, but uou have all forgotten that the system was originally seen in 1965 James Bond Thunderball. A plane drops a rescue package including a balloon with the words "When Arriws Meet" which is a message to the recovery crew to help them get Bond recovered.

At first you think, man why didn’t we use this in Vietnam… and I could see its appeal at first.. then I thought of the target the downed pilot would already have from his parachute drifting down. A big balloon with a line leading directly to the pilot would make that even worse. Not to mention if the device was captured by the enemy. They could deploy a decoy after a pilot was captured and shoot down any responding aircraft or attach bombs to them and take out more crew and aircraft. I did see a modern example of the tow line being captured by a hook recently. It was a tow banner. The aircraft takes off and gets his speed up and then flys between the two poles that have a line across and snags the line. I wanna say I’ve seen the same system used by modern gliders as well but I can’t remember exactly when I saw it. I did see a glider use the poles to cut a Ribbon draped between them, while upside down with his vertical stabilizer…. Oh yeah… agree with the music comments. Your beautiful voice is all that is needed good sir. Best of luck.

First heard about this from MGS3.

And millions have been extracted with Fulton devices in the popular Metal Gear Solid V

The Fulton System will go on to be used in classified US operations performed by the PMC Militaires Sans Frontieres and Diamond Dogs.

Metal Gear Solid 5 comes to mind.

If Batman thinks it is a badass way to extricate someone, then it definitely qualifies as badass device.

Why the reupload? Did you correct something? Anyways cool story 👍

Idk where you you got this information hut B-17s were never fitted with sky hooks. That wouldnt even work. Only HC-130s and C-47s had a skyhook like system.

Is that were Pink Floyd got their Flying Pig from? Crazy right!

So were they listening for american subs?

6 1/2 minutes is not gruelling.. that's little more time than it takes to smoke a cigarette. Why so many drama queens?

Sometimes Truth is even OLDER than Fiction. Case in point, the 1955 (!) movie TOP OF THE WORLD; a fictional account supported by documentary footage of your "Operation Skyhook" subject.

Going to have to stop watching these. I appreciated you labeling pictures before as Ai generated, but the fact that you are using ai generated without labels and just mixed into other content means I can't really appreciate the found or other created content on here anymore. Sorry.

Bond? Batman did it better.

Again with the pointless tragic backing noise absolutely ruining perfectly good content. Sorry but I can't watch post posting this message.

Do you mean the mythical skyhook that generations of newbie framers have been sent across job sites to find actually exists?
