My cousin sent me this today. It is an old Navy film with my uncle in it. He was a parachutist. During the early days of Operation Sky Hook, they used pigs. "Lifted off the ground, the pig began to spin as it flew through the air at 125 mph (200 km/h). It arrived on board uninjured but in a disoriented state." Ya think? A few people suffered broken backs before they perfected it. Looks like it might have been fun, if it wasn't so terrifying. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_surface-to-air_recovery_system

I think I saw something like that in a James Bond movie. That would be one hell of a ride! Can you imagine the outcry if they tried something like this on a pig these days? Libtards far and wide would be marching on Washington.
aside: lately, when I click on a link here; a new tab opens for the link, but I have to click on the little blue refresh arrow thing up top several times to get the link to open. Any guesses why this is?

Which one was your uncle? Hopefully not the one in the raft getting whiplash.
