Research Operation Cold Feet
Operation Cold Feet was the first operational use of the Fulton Surface To Air Recovery System aka Skyhook. This operation was also the background for the movie Ice Station Zebra.
Operation Cold Feet is were the US parachuted two Navy Intelligence personal onto the Arctic Icecap to recon an abandoned Soviet Ice Station. They were looking form more than weather data, ie data on what the Soviet submarines where doing under the ice. The Ice Station was abandoned because of the ice breaking up, so the only way off was to use the Fulton Surface To Air Recovery System. The recovery aircraft was the original B-17G bomber that was converted by one of the CIA Air Branch companies.
The mission was somewhat of a success according to the CIA. Just like the recovery of the Soviet submarine or the deep sea recovery of the satellite film pod, or the etc etc.
So buying Greenland is a very strategic move. I bet after one f those WH intel briefings on what the Russians and the Chinese are doing under the Arctic prompted Trump to say lets buy the place.
