C-141 Starflifter rescued American POWs in Vietnam.
For Paul Kari, the U.S. Air Force C-141 Starlifter was a welcome sight after years in captivity and beatings while an American prisoner of war held in Vietnam.
On Wednesday, the former Air Force fighter pilot shot down over Vietnam took another look at the troop-carrying jet called the “Hanoi Taxi” that flew him to freedom from captivity as the four-engine plane was rolled into a new $40.8 million hangar at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs I never heard of the C-141 Starlifter being called a Hanoi Taxi.
I remember jumping out of the C-141 which was more like walking out compared to the propeller driven aircraft.
I am glad to learn that the C-141 Starlifter that took Paul Kari to freedom from captivity was rolled into a new $40.8 million hangar at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

In case anyone is wondering, the last C-130 to leave Vietnam is parked at the main gate of Little Rock AFB.
