U.S. Air Force Col. (Ret.) George Ferkes, a former co-pilot with the 8th Special Operations Squadron and the co-pilot in the lead MC-130E Combat Talon during Operation Eagle Claw, speaks during a remembrance ceremony for the failed operation on its 38th anniversary, April 24, 2018, at Hurlburt Field, Fla.
