Sean,
as shameful as it might sound. That's where I learned of it. Made me google it, does not come up on the first page or anything but I searched for a while.

There is an episode of "Jag" where this is reenacted. At the end of the episode, they make reference to this being real. I never read up on the story from it, but to see hollywood recreate this, was incredible.
Also, Jag reenacted a C-130 landing on an Aircraft carrier, and then at the end of the episode, showed video of it happening for real! So far as I know, it was the only time it had ever happened.
