Just before dawn of a cloudy morning in South Vietnam this alarm was heard "An F-105 pilot is down in enemy territory. Bring him back!" Within minutes 2 twin-turbine Sikorsky HH-3E helicopters of the US Air Force's Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service were whirling their way into North Vietnam, climbing high through the clouds to hurdle a mountain range that lay across the shortest route to their destination. Availing themselves of maximum speed of 165 mph, the two Choppers reach the area in little time and dropped from their cruising level of 6,000 feet to a hover just above the 60 foot high jungle growth. The crews sighted the downed Pilots' parachute and the rescue hoist, designed for forest penetration, went down through the vegetation and in a few minutes came up with one happy pilot. The Viet Cong, converging on the scene, were only minutes away.This mission was carried out in 50 minutes. The result of this speedy recovery: another life saved by a service dedicated to rescuing American fighting men.Because of the unique characteristics of the conflict in Vietnam, our nation's rescue-and-recovery capability has become extremely important. The US Air Force's Aerospace rescue-and-recovery service (ARRS) is the branch of the Armed Forces dedicated to the development of this critical area of modern warfare. One of the most significant advances in Rescue and Recovery has been the recent success of air-to-air refueling of a helicopter from a fixed-wing tanker aircraft.
