ArtistsRifles Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Entebbe Raid Hercules for SaleThe Israeli Ministry of Defense is holding a public auction on 5 C-130s, including one involved in the dramatic rescue of Israeli hostages at Entebbe airport in 1976. The aircraft, bearing Israeli Air Force identifier 106, was one of 4 deployed after an Air France Airbus A300 - operating Tel Aviv-Athens-Paris - was hijacked from Greece on 27 June 1976 and diverted to Uganda. In its official tender documentation, the Ministry lists aircraft 106, which was built in 1971, as an 'early H' variant with 14,395 landings. It says this aircraft "may be in use" by the Israeli Air Force until no later than 30 September. From the MOD_Oracle news letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
