I don't see any reason why not. It's unclas, was tape recorded on RESCAP frequency by the controlling E-2, as was standard on Alpha strikes. The E-2 crew presented me a reel tape copy of the whole rescue several days later, which I had copied onto a CD a few years ago. I don't have a copy CD here at present, but my 'compusmart' Son has the master & I'll arrange for him to burn a few copies as soon as I can. It's fairly clear for UHF, in fact portions from the tape of the strike & helo rescue, were used in the soundtrack of the one-hour Military Channel documentary on the A-4 in Vietnam, titled "Huggin' The Deck", about 10 years ago, great show!
I wouldn't have a clue on how to put it on the net? Perhaps there's a way that a link to the sound track could be installed (embedded?) in the info page of my AW profile? Then any AW member could stop by & listen ('bout 20 min. audio).
Will let you and Blackshoe know when copies are available.

It is, but I'm gonna have to do a search to find it... is back a couple of years. It used to be available in an AW section called BLOGS, but that went away in the last AW major update last year. I'll PM to you when I locate it.

Could it be... a mighty "PhirePhrog?"
Regarding the image of the Skycrane fighting the wildfire, the other day when news footage of that was on the TV, one of the other pilots in the room proudly and suddenly exclaimed, "I have a type rating in that!!"

Mo better than a "Phrog on Phire"...
Remembering the story of the Phrog with the fire in the after station.

They did not blindly adhere to the CH-46E NATOPS "Engine Compartment Fire in Flight" procedures.
