Looks like EH-60A Black Hawk N61AA did the job:

I can't be the only one wonderin' so I'll ask the question - why the drogue chute out the back when the aircraft itself would be directionally stable anyway on account of the fin & rudder?
I doubt the fin and rudder would do much at the slow transit speed, but happy to stand corrected.
(I'm reminded of the not-so-successful attempt to lift the Searey off Lake Eyre and carry her to William Creek. Helicopter crew jettisoned the Searey after she started to swing increasingly during the transit. Thing ended up a pancake on the back of a trailer. Sad picture.)

The chute prevents the requirement to have a pilot in the aircraft to keep it straight and level. Disadvantage is that if the aircraft is jettisoned from the helicopter it will pretty much plummet to the ground whereas if there was a pilot in it, the aircraft could be flown to a forced landing area.
I's all about safety and risk mitigation, as per the CASA requirements.
There are a few questions about this in the CASA exams.
Pilot will also be able to log the hours as well.

Maybe you never worked in the Arctic then? If you didn’t get the ladder jammed under the wing, you done good, but…

It disconnects at the top end, I believe.
It'd make "flying to a forced landing area" a bit tricky, I'd have thought.
Clearly demonstrates the level of in experience within the aviation industry at the moment!
