The
first aircraft is a KC-135R with the 459th Air Refueling Wing out of
Andrews AFB, MD with the 4th Air Force, AFRC. The black and yellow
checkered stripe on the tail harkens back to markings of the 459th bomb
Group during WW2 when they flew B-24J Liberators.
The
next aircraft are actually a choice of 5 different MC-130E's "Combat Talons" with Special
Operations Squadron (Special Forces). You actually get a choice of
5 different MC-130E's including one that participated in Operation Eagle
Claw (the attempted Iranian Rescue Mission). Another of these
MC-130s participated in the Son Tay Prison Raid. Son Tay Prison was
located 23 miles from Hanoi and on Nov. 21, 1970 a raid involving a
variety of aircraft and Special Forces made a rescue attempt to free
American POW's. The mission involved no American deaths, but the
POW's had been moved from the camp 4 months earlier, so none were freed.
Another of these MC-130E's was involved in Operation Urgent Fury (the
successful rescue of American students from Grenada).
