MSgt Henry Harlow says it was an emotional day as he makes his way in front of the 'Hanoi Taxi' to marshal the aircraft out for it's final flight. Harlow is an original member of 'Team 177' (the aircraft's tail number is 60177) who discovered the aircraft's past and helped bring to light it's historical past. The first aircraft, a C-141 Starlifter, to return Vietnam prisoners of war to the United States makes its final landing Saturday May 6, 2006 at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The C-141 'Hanoi Taxi' was the first aircraft to arrive in Hanoi in February 1973 to pick up the POWs held by the North Vietnamese.(U.S. Air Force photo by TSgt Rick Sforza, 4th Combat Camera)
