- Corporate_Air_Services_HPF821 abstract "Corporate Air Services HPF821 was a transport aircraft delivering weapons via airdrop to the Nicaraguan Contras which was shot down over Nicaragua on 5 October 1986 by a surface-to-air missile. Two US pilots and a Nicaraguan radio operator died when the Fairchild C-123 Provider was shot down by a Sandinista soldier using an SA-7 shoulder-launched missile, while Eugene Hasenfus, the US "kicker" responsible for pushing the cargo out of the aircraft, survived by parachuting to safety. The aircraft was carrying "60 collapsible AK-47 rifles, 50,000 AK-47 rifle cartridges, several dozen RPG-7 grenade launchers and 150 pairs of jungle boots".Hasenfus was captured within 24 hours, and sentenced by a Nicaraguan court to 30 years in prison; at the request of Senator Chris Dodd and others he was released in exchange for Sandinista soldiers captured by the Contras. Hasenfus' comments about CIA backing for the flights were initially denied by the US Government, but investigations of what became known as the Iran-Contra affair showed that the US had organised this and other flights, and had funded the cargo using illegal weapons sales to Iran.".
