[Vhfcn-l] STABO Rig Question

[VHFCN1 Pilots and Crew]

Thanks Moe! We didn't use either, just a 150' rope with an ammo box tied on the end. When the tracers were passing between the LLRPS and the helicopter you were probably going to get a hug later.

The question was ask by the team currently in Vietnam and having never used the STABO I couldn't answer them.

Don't know but I used to wrap all my carabiner (we called them snap links) with tape to reduce shine.  I never used the STABO, I only was extracted on McGuire rigs. Sorry that is all I can offer.

Was it common practice to wrap the carabiner on with electrical tape?
