What if Eagle Claw succeeded?

An American classmate (mature student in his late 40s ex USAF HC-130/AC-130 mech) during my Uni years in late 90s, took part in Eagle Claw. However he was left behind in Egypt with several others as their a/c went east.

I understand there were plans afterwards called Honey Badger that would involve the 82nd or 101st Abn Div then new UH-60A Blackhawk en masse to rescue the hostages etc .

cheers
