Peru AF shot up one of our C-130 conducting anti-drug mission and forced to land back in 1992.
More Info: Crew decided not to land after Peru AF warned of air space violation. Peru AF shot C-130 several times breaking the paratroop door window in the rear, and "sucking" the loadmaster out, killing him. The crew should have landed as ordered! I was in Panama in 92.
When was last time a USAF airlifter shot down?
