Incredible if so. Wonder if the first guy had some help from the locals.

Would be some shite if we had to self-destruct a C130 due to.... sand 
That all sounds too specific to just be made-up and his credibility would be completely shot forever. Hoping this turns out to be true.
IF true it implies we had to locate and secure a full LZ near the WSO large enough to land a C130, then hold it and secure the skies for the giant to land safely. Could be why it took as long as it did

Fox News can confirm that the 2nd crew member of the downed F15E fighter jet has been rescued and he and the members of the rescue team that extracted him from behind enemy lines in Iran are all safely out of Iran. That according to two senior US officials and multiple well placed sources in the region. The Weapons Systems Officer ejected along with the pilot when their F15E Strike Eagle they were flying was struck Thursday night (early Friday local time) in southwest Iran.
The WSO used the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) training to evade capture, hiding on an elevated ridge after hiking away from the wreckage and putting out an emergency beacon.) US Special Operations rescue forces to include PJs (United States Air Force Pararescuemen (PJs) and many layers of elite rescue forces took part in the complex, layered mission to both find the crew member and also keep the Iranian forces who were hunting the American weapons system operator at bay. There are videos that have appeared from local eyewitnesses that show what appear to have been injured and dead Iranian members of the IRGC and Basij who were looking for the downed American crew member. Fox has learned there was fighting on the ground but no Americans killed during the operation. “It was a very complex operation to retrieve the downed service member,” a well placed source briefed on the operation told me. Many different branches of the US military were involved in the rescue.
Fox News can confirm the A10 Warthog that crashed Friday was involved in providing cover for the rescue teams searching for the pilot. That A10 crashed in Kuwait (first reported by ABC Friday) but the A10 pilot managed to eject safely and was rescued. There was destruction of aircraft which have sensitive equipment on board, I am told, all part of this complex CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) mission.
The F15E was pretty much destroyed on impact. Two rescue helicopters were hit by enemy fire on Friday and crew members onboard were injured by enemy fire but managed to make it out of Iran.
There were a lot of elements to this rescue, I am told.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of the F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over Iran, three U.S. officials tell Axios. Why it matters: The shootdown was a nightmare scenario for the U.S. military, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also racing to locate the missing U.S. officer in southwest Iran over the past 36 hours. Both crew members were rescued in special forces operations inside Iran. One of the U.S. officials said Saturday's operation was conducted by a specialized commando unit with a high volume of air cover, that the U.S. forces unleashed a hail of heavy fire, and that all of the forces were now out of Iran. How it happened: According to two sources, the F-15 pilot and weapons systems officer both made contact via their comms systems after ejecting on Friday. The pilot was rescued several hours after the plane was shot down. During that rescue operation, Iran struck a U.S. Blackhawk helicopter, wounding crew members, but it was able to fly on. It took more than a day to locate and rescue the second crew member. Zoom in: On Saturday, the second crew member was located and a rescue operation began — with the IRGC also sending forces to the region to prevent it. U.S. Air Force jets conducted strikes against Iranian forces to prevent them from reaching the area, the sources said. President Trump and senior members of his team followed the rescue operation from the White House Situation Room.

We just went straight into the enemy's territory after a month of fricking them up with constant bombardment, more or less completely announced we were coming, and extracted one dude that the entire enemy force was after. Some bad MOFOs have been training for this their entire careers
I pray no other American lives were lost and that we took down every enemy that dared to rear their ugly heads in the process
ETA - It appears Jack Murphy is one to follow and is legitimately plugged in to what's happening behind the scenes. Dude has proven to be legit with this
