CV-22 Osprey Aircraft made a special landing at the National Museum of the United States Air Force Thursday, as a means of offering a salute to the heritage of the 20th Special Operations Squadron.

The aircraft was flown to the museum by current members of the 20th SOS at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, and was greeted by veterans of the 20th SOS who supported secret missions in South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia during the Southeast Asia War. Flying Bell UH-1F/P “Huey” helicopters from Nha Trang Air Base, Republic of Vietnam, under the call sign “Green Hornets,” the 20th SOS also inserted Special Forces reconnaissance teams inside enemy-held territory.
