AF bids farewell to Combat Talon I
Retired Col. Ray Turczynski, former 1st Special Operations Squadron commander and MC-130E Combat Talon I pilot, speaks at the retirement ceremony for the aircraft at Duke Field, Fla., April 25. Turcynski spoke about 1980’s Operation Eagle Claw, the attempted mission to rescue hostages in Iran. Aircrew, maintainers and many others turned out to remember and bid farewell to the Talon I on its official retirement from the Air Force. The last five Talons, located at Duke Field, will be delivered to the “boneyard” at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, N.M., by mid-May 2013. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Samuel King Jr.)
