All I quoted was Talon history -- OK -- Talon lineage:

14 aircraft (C-130E(I)) assigned under the name Stray Goose later renamed Combat Talon. The project name for the 3 different configurations was Combat Arrow, Knife, & Spear.

A few Herks working Haiti. Day shots were taken in the Dominican Republic when we stopped there for gas. (Bad idea - it took 4 hours.) Night shot at Homestead where we take the evacuees. This first shot of USCG 1706 was taken in Haiti. I took all the photos.
