U.S. Air Commandos reflect on the history of the MC-130P Combat Shadow, its mission and their personal connection with the aircraft.
The final two Air Force Combat Shadows completed their last landing at Hurlburt Field in front of more than 400 spectators during an MC-130P heritage flight on May 15, 2015.
Built with 1960s technology, the Combat Shadow began its special operations career in the mid-1980s and went on to conduct critical air refueling missions in the late 1980s during Operation Just Cause in Panama, in the early 1990s during Operation Desert Storm and eventually in Afghanistan.
