Farewell flight
Master Sgt. Kent Castro, of the 919th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, waits to begin marshalling out the MC-130E Combat Talon I, 64-0523“Godfather” to its final flight June 22 at Duke Field, Fla. The final flight landed at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., where 0523 will become a static display at the base’s airpark. The aircraft has the distinction of leading the Air Force’s assault force during the Son Tay Raid to rescue prisoners of war in Vietnam in 1970. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Samuel King Jr.)
