I saw it - I watched it again - then once more, and I still cannot believe it. I would hve loved to havebeen part of this one!

Amazing attempt. Just shows how desperate Jimmy Carter was.

I had friends and fellow crewmembers at Desert One, both in Delta and in the Air Force.

That entire operation was poorly planned and horribly executed. There were several errors that should have resulted in cancellation of the inbound flight before they ever arrived at Desert One. The rest is history.
