Corporate Air Services HPF821

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,〔Paul Goepfert, ''Chicago Tribune'', 10 October 1986, (Captive American Links Cia, Plane )〕 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.
==Background==

HPF821 was operated by Corporate Air Services, a front for Southern Air Transport, the registered owner of the aircraft.〔 Some of the pilots and crew involved with the Contra supply flights, including Eugene Hasenfus, had been involved in the CIA's aerial supply activities during the Vietnam War, using Air America, Southern Air Transport, and other CIA proprietary airlines. Two Cuban-Americans involved in organising the flights were known to Hasenfus as "Max Gómez" (actually Félix Rodríguez) and "Ramón Medina" (actually Luis Posada Carriles).〔
