Editing Retrorocket (section)

===Operation Credible Sport===
[[Operation Credible Sport]], a plan put forward by the US government in 1979 to rescue the [[Iran Hostage Crisis|hostages in Iran]] resulted in the construction of two modified [[Lockheed C-130 Hercules]], designated YMC-130H, which featured retro-rockets to allow it to perform extremely short landings. As part of the plan, these aircraft would land in the [[Shahid Shiroudi Stadium]] near the US Embassy in [[Tehran]] and use the retrorockets to come to a stop. One aircraft was destroyed in a crash during a test flight without any fatalities, and the plan was scrapped later that year.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ian |first1=D'Costa |title=The US Military Planned on Using This Crazy Modified C-130 to Rescue Hostages in Iran |url=https://tacairnet.com/2016/06/28/the-us-military-planned-on-using-this-crazy-modified-c-130-to-rescue-hostages-in-iran/ |website=tacairnet.com |date=29 June 2016 |access-date=8 January 2020}}</ref>
