I copied this one paragraph from the link you posted, because I was THERE! 

I was flying T-33's 1960-1963 in the Islands.

I was right behind that C-119 when it took off for that first mid-air snatch!

Its first successful midair recovery was accomplished on Aug. 19, 1960, and involved the Discovery 14 capsule. It used a modified JC-119 Flying Boxcar cargo plane. Both the capsule and the aircraft are on display at the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
