Photo Comment
Originally an HC-130E, this surveillance C-130H was attacked by two Peruvian Su-22s during an anti-drug mission from Panama. Six of the crew were injured and one man was sucked out of the aircraft through a hole. A large hole is visible below the low-viz roundel. According to the Americans, the C-130 was 'clearly marked as a USAF aircraft' - it could certainly have been clearer. It was flown home to be written off.
