Airmen and families listen as U.S. Air Force Col. (Ret.) George Ferkes, co-pilot of the lead 8th Special Operations Squadron MC-130E Combat Talon during Operation Eagle Claw, speaks during the remembrance ceremony for the 38th anniversary of the failed operation, April 24, 2018, at Hurlburt Field, Fla. Operation Eagle Claw was an attempted hostage-rescue mission in 1980 that resulted in five Airmen and three Marines sacrificing their lives when two of the aircraft involved collided at Desert One, a staging sight for the operation.
