Hanoi Taxi Goes on Display

24 July, 2004

The Air Force C-141C Starlifter jet dubbed the "Hanoi Taxi" will appear for the first time at AirVenture since 1998. The first plane to airlift American prisoners of war from Gia Lam Airport in Hanoi on Feb. 12, 1973 got its nickname after the soldiers signed their names inside on the flight home. On board are documents and photos of the homecoming along with etchings of the names of those still listed as missing in action in Vietnam. It will be on display from Friday through Aug. 2.
