Project Credible Sport - Operation Eagle Claw Followup
We all know that several of the 7ACCS birds were used in the ill-fated attempt to rescue American hostages from Teheran in May of 1980… and one was lost, along with its crew. But some of may be surprised to learn that preparation for a second rescue attempt had been initiated.
Dubbed Project Credible Sport, it was aimed at heavily modifying three C-130H aircraft so they would be able to land and take off from the Amjadien soccer stadium across the street from the U. S. Embassy in Teheran. You can read all about it here: http://www.crediblesport.com/.
Here is a youtube.com video that shows some of the testing - including a test that went bad-wrong at the end of this video.
