I've decided to boldly move the content from MC-130H Combat Talon II into this article. After wikifying and significntly expanding the article, I learned that this is a series of three aircraft and is better suited for a single article dealing with all three variants. Should work out fine here. The old article is now a redirect. Consequentially 02:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added MC-130W

I added a section on the MC-130W. While this hasn't officially become the Talon III, it certainly deserves a place. Given it's mission, associated airframes, its location, and its overall capabilities, the MC-130W belongs here http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=4887 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.17.129.22 (talk) 19:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Citation for Cambodia claim?

The article reads "Later that year, MC-130H missions carried commando units into Cambodia.[1]". However the text at the provided link makes no mention of US operations in Cambodia. I don't recall any US military action in Cambodia in the 90s nor do I see mention of one on a cursory glace through the Cambodian history articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.199.251 (talk) 08:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I put a {{fact}} tag on it instead of the given reference. If it doesn't change in a few weeks, we should just delete the claim (but let's give people a chance to fix it if they have some information. — BQZip01 — ^talk 14:49, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
