who call the military post think of something called a fulton recovery system. it was developed in '6, basically, a way to retrieve downed air crew, in which they would launch a helium balloon along rope. that rope would go about 400 feet up, a c-130, almost like a scissors-like device would snatch that rope, lift them off the ground and winch them safely into the airplane. i'm seek the lines attached to this balloon and the thought crossed my mind, i did a little checking. unfortunately, that system the air force stopped using it in the late '90s, i'm sure it has crossed the minds of a lot of people with military experience thinking could they do something similar with this system, actually grab those lines with a c-130? probably not at this late hour, certainly as we see this balloon continue to lose helium. one thing to caution, because we are watching the helicopter shot. the helicopter moving around, he is on a very long lens, we get a distorted sense of movement
