The Herc was on a surface search and popped up long enough for Minerva to get three sweeps on her with her 965. The fighter controller vectored Ward and his wingman in. They detected the C-130 on Radar at low level and running at full speed for home. (Anyone know the top speed of a Herc at Sea Level) Ward and Thomas were above the cloud. Ward descended and fire one Sidewinder at a range of about a mile at the Starboard engines. This just fell short, he then closed and fired a second at the port engines this hit between them starting a fire. He then emptied his Adens into rear door and tail causing it to crash.
