An MC-130 Commando II two-ship formation conducts a flyover during the ceremony for Operation Eagle Claw at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, April 24, 2025. The failure of Operation Eagle Claw exposed gaps in readiness and joint-integration capabilities; this mission laid the foundation for the creation of U.S. Special Operations Command in 1987 and ultimately, Air Force Special Operations Command in 1990.
