	John Nance Productions - Skyhook
		John J. Nance, the best-selling author of aviation thrillers, has just taken off with his latest novel, "Skyhook." And, as usual, readers are in for death-defying plane rides, lively dialogue and realistic characters who survive crises with courage and humor.
		A fl ops operation is in effect called the Skyhook Project, a way for pilots on the ground to control military aircraft that won't or can't return to base.
		Skyhook, as Nance's protagonist Ben Cole explains, is a secret computer program designed to aid a plane having flight problems.

		During her ensuing operations, the carrier served as the launching platform for Operation "Skyhook." This widely publicized scientific experiment involved the launching of three of the largest balloons ever fabricated, carrying devices to measure and record primary cosmic ray emissions at an altitude of between 18 and 22 miles above the earth's surface.
		Operation "Badger Catch," commencing on 23 January 1968 and ext ending through 18 February, took off for the Cua Viet River, south of the DMZ, before the ship set her course for Subic Bay and much-needed maintenance.
		On 10 March, the carrier began operating in support of Operation "Defiant Measure," steaming off Danang as her helicopters flew missions "on the beach." This was completed by the 18th, and Valley Forge debarked her helicopters before steaming to Subic Bay for upkeep.

	Pick-up Lines
		The first operational use of the system came in February 1944, when a C-47 snagged a glider in a remote location in Burma and returned it to India.
		Operation Coldfeet, Cadwalader reported, produced intelligence "of very great value." ONR learned that the Soviet station was configured to permit extended periods of silent operation, confirming the importance that the Soviets attached to acoustical work.
		While the Skyhook system provided an important asset for all manner of intelligence operations, its utility as a long-range pickup system was somewhat undermined during the 1960s by the development of an aerial refueling capability for helicopters.

	Operation Skyhook -- Friday, Dec. 04, 1964 -- Page 1 -- TIME
		Once its target is located, a Skyhook rescue plane sends a 400-lb., do-it-yourself kit drifting downward by parachute.
		The bulky package, which is buoyant enough to float if it lands on water, contains a cylinder filled with helium and 500 ft. of woven nylon line with a special suit attached to one end, a balloon to the other.
		The man to be rescued must be in good enough physical shape to do a few simple things: put on the suit and inflate the balloon with helium.

		Carrying out training operations out of Guantanamo Bay in 1957, Valley Forge accomplished a naval "first" in October, when she embarked a Marine detachment and twin-engined HR2S-1 Mojave helicopters.
		The completion of this operation on the day before Christmas 1967 did not mark the end of Valley Forge's operations for this year, however, as she was again in action during Operation Beaver Tooth, near Quang Tri in northern South Vietnam.
		During Operation Badger Catch II, from 6 March to 14 April 1968, Marine "choppers" landed on board the carrier while their land bases were being cleared of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops.

		At Operation Skyhook, Doctor Russell Marvin (Hugh Marlowe, All About Eve, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Meet Me in St. Louis) sends rockets into the Earth’s atmosphere as probes for later space missions.
		Even though there is a large amount of scientific, astrological, and physical jargon atop an invasion during the McCarthy Era, the film is merely an exercise in special effects, a few of which are interesting but many missing their mark.
		Russell over rationalizes the occurrence and brushes it off for fear that the powers that be might raise an eyebrow and yank his position.

		In their depositions before the Committee staff, professional fundraisers consistently stated that for a fundraising appeal to be successful, it must be based on a current event and it must have a strong emotional appeal.
		Because the professional fundraiser's profits are considered expenses of the prospecting appeals, it is possible for the professional fundraiser to earn a profit even when donations from a particular campaign do not exceed expenses....
		Some sort of an international cablegram sent from Thailand to the donor describing the 'evidence' that Americans are still being held captive and the urgent need for tax-deductible contributions in support of the rescue efforts.

		These included: 1) the Team Falcon operation in 1991-1992; 2) a 1988 effort to locate prisoners in Laos; 3) Operation Skyhook II, an early 1980's initiative also aimed at finding prisoners in Laos; and 4) the efforts of retired Army Lt. Col.
		None of these operations have been successful in rescuing prisoners or in uncovering evidence that prisoners are being held.
		In general, such operations are dependent on sources of information in Southeast Asia that have a very poor record of reliability and, in some cases, a consistent track record of fraud.

		Russ has been keeping a diary on the same tape deck he was using before, and as the gas generator that serves as the source of his and Carol’s electricity nears the bottom of its fuel tank, Dr. Marvin rewinds the tape to give it one last listen before the power goes out completely.

		The Office of Naval Research, the National Science Foundation and the University of Chicago organized Operation Skyhook 60, which envisioned sending two huge balloons, each more than 400 ft. high, from an aircraft carrier to a height of 120,000 ft. for the purpose of studying cosmic rays.
		It was essential to know what weather conditions were at that dizzy height so that destroyers and search planes could be deployed to rescue the gondola when it was cut loose.
		Named chief meteorologist for Skyhook, Riehl set up his headquarters in Puerto Rico, and established contact with ten other weather stations ringing the Caribbean.
