One of the Lockheed EC-130E Hercules from Operation Eagle Claw[0] (callsign Republic 5) is on display at the Sullenberger[1] Aviation Museum in Charlotte NC. Totally worth taking a look if you have a 4+ hour layover there.
A former neighbor's dad was one of the hostages, and he has a photo from the reception that Reagan hosted at the White House for them.
