Turned out we didn't need any rocket-pack C-130's to rescue the US Embassy hostages from Tehran, the Iranians released them the same day Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President. What a coincidence!
All seemed to go well with the rocket packs except for the forward firing ones when fired while the aircraft was still airborne. The 130 is a strong aircraft, but it does have its limits.
