Never seen a helicopter refuel this way. This interesting footage is from 1966 aboard the USS Hooper in Tonkin Gulf taking part in operation "High Drink" where the Navy was testing inflight refueling to help helicopters stay in rescue areas longer to search for downed pilots.🫡

Footage from October 1944 aboard the USS Hornet (CV-12), during the Battle of Formosa in the Pacific, a Helldiver hops it's way back onto the deck and a Hellcat earns itself a one way ticket to the Drink. So many aircraft, bombs, and rockets in the Pacific.🫡

Former Navy SEAL Details First Autonomous Rescue Mission Near the Strait of Hormuz Saronic CEO Dino Mavrookas: “The Navy actually trusted us in this moment. Lives are on the line, we're going to send this autonomous platform to go and rescue these folks. This is not a patrol, this is not maritime domain awareness, this is the highest stakes of the highest stakes. There's downed American pilots in the Straits of Hormuz. Corsair, which is our 24 foot fully autonomous speedboat, they said, ‘We're going to use that to rescue the pilots.’ And that's actually a milestone moment for the country. Leaving people behind in the US military, it's not a thing. The US military does not do it. I was in the Navy SEAL teams for eleven years, from 2004 to 2015. I personally experienced, in 2005, there were four SEALs trapped on a mountainside in Afghanistan, and the helicopter got shot down while going to rescue them. So what we were able to prove in this moment was that you can go and rescue people without putting additional soldiers in harm's way.” Dino Mavrookas Saronic ------------------------------ Thanks to our partners for making this possible!

Cold War fun. Interesting footage from March of 1972 where the Soviet helicopter carrier Leningrad refueled at sea in the Med and the USS Springfield got caught looking so they sent a Ka-25 Hormone to shadow them. Watching us watching them watch us or something like that.. 🫡

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has been briefed on a downed U.S. F-15 in southwestern Iran near Kharg Island. Fox’s Jennifer Griffin just revealed the details behind the high-stakes rescue mission is already underway — with pilots believed to be alive. GRIFFIN: “What we are seeing and what we would expect in this situation is that the air force and their Pave Hawk helicopters...that are designed for search and rescue...they can carry it out day as well as night.” “It’s still daylight over there so it is a very risky mission for [them] and suggests that there is a sense that these pilots are alive and that they are trying to find them before any Iranian forces are able to take them.” “These pilots of the F-15E would have been trained in SERE training, that’s survival training.” “We have seen images that suggested at least one of the pilots ejected because we see the seat and we see the parachute.” “We also know from Israeli sources that Israeli officials have called off airstrikes in this part of southwestern Iran.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The most basic rule of covert ops is sanitize yourself before going in. Someone forgot to tell the mission planners. Fmr U.S. Navy Malcolm Nance says the whole search and rescue operation for the pilot of the downed F-15 was built for optics. "All of the pilots on these aircraft had their IDs and credit cards on them. If you're going behind enemy lines, you go behind with the intent that you may be captured." They went way beyond what was needed for an efficient operation. Malcolm Nance
