Talk:Operation Credible Sport

Untitled
I am not sure what information this page was pulled from, but some information is erroneous. The crash (which has been reported as is in this page), was caused when the landing rockets failed to fire to cushion the landing. I got this from a conversation with the 16th Special Operations Wing Historian (call 850-884-1110 for the operator and request the historian's office, they'll connect you free of charge).

I got my information about the crash from Vincent Markolinis the flight engineer in the Credible Sport aircraft teh day of teh crash and from teh Accident report! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.6.2.113 (talk) 09:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I was Flight Surgeon ("Rocket Doc II")assigned the project locally (named: "Chuckwagon") and during the test flight which had resulted in the crash was flying right seat in our squadron's UH-1N. The early firng of the rockets, at too high an altitude, allowed the plane to drop hard shearing the wing resulting in fire. During resultant fire the Helicopter pilot used his previous experience and blew flames from area allowing crew escape as fire rescue came in and then placed me in safe area to receive the crew for evaluation and treatment. The rockets did fire and sequenced as programed yet sequence was initiated too early.

The video of the crash is online, I found it on http://www.military.com. You can see in the video that the rockets fired early and cause the plane to fall out of the sky.

Ohh and on a side note, I am a C-130 mechanic and 74-2065 is one of the planes in my squadron. I looked all over for any evidence left behind but found none.

Where are the helicopters?
160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment refers to Operation Honey Badger in its history (on its own page) as the impetus for its creation following Operation Eagle Claw. This article has Operation Honey Badger redirected, but makes no reference to the extensive planning the Army crews were doing to prepare for an operation up until late 1980.

Trivia
I removed the last part of the trivia section, as it was taken mostly verbatim from the youtube video, which is not in the public domain and also seems to contradict the cause of the crash mentioned earlier in the article.
