BREAKING - The woman who made a video hoping Iran would find the downed service member and hold him hostage as leverage against the US has been identified as Melissa Halverson, who works as an administrative assistant at the Green Apple Pantry in Michigan. You know what to do.

This was a USAF Airbus C-295W Persuader (most likely registration 17-0601). They are short take off and landing masters needing around 300 feet at 110 kts for landing/takeoff roll and can carry up to 70 operators and gear. Perfect aircraft for this mission. Credit to Aardwark on reddit.
