The event does beg some questions as to how it all happened.
Did the three aircraft make the attempted landings in day light or at night?
What kind of security was in effect around the landing area? Who was in charge of that security? What kind of arms and equipment did the US Troops have and what actions had they taken to secure or assist in securing the Air Strip.
Were there SpecOps guys or similar sources of Intel used who could give real time information on the situation on the ground? Were they adequately deployed to facilitate that?
Was the C-17 part of a Contingency Plan pre-positioned at Nairobi or Entebbe?
How much advance notice did the Osprey Crews have of the flight?
Did the three aircraft attempt a simultaneous Tactical style landing or did they orbit the airstrip with the intent to land one at a time?
Were they attempting to provide their own "Air Cover" using the single ramp gun each aircraft is equipped with?
Did they even have the Ramp guns installed? Did they return fire?
