Summary[edit]

Description
English: A photo of the "Desert One" landing site, a piece of desert in Iran used by U.S. forces as a refueling point in an attempt to rescue U.S. hostages in Iran. On 24 April 1980 a U.S. Air Force Lockheed EC-130E Hercules (s/n 62-1809, not visible) collided with a U.S. Navy Sikorsky RH-53D Sea Stallion (BuNo 158761, wrecked in the foreground) during refueling after the mission was aborted. Both aircraft were destroyed, eight crewmen died. In the background is one of the five intact, but abandoned RH-53Ds.
