PUMP DUMP
Coast Guard HU-25 Guardians had a pretty cool little feature for rescue missions, a hatch in the cabin just aft of the flight deck through which a flight engineer could drop either a water pump to help sailors slow or stop their vessel from sinking, or life rafts for those who had to abandon ship. In front of the hatch is a small panel that blocks the hatch, allowing the bundles being dropped to completely clear the aircraft without being blown against the lower fuselage and potentially damaging the aircraft.
