The men of A Company return from the Congo to Dublin on what appears to be an Irish Air Corps C-130 Hercules transport. The Irish Air Corps never operated the C-130 or any comparable medium tactical transport. The Irish civilian flag carrier Aer Lingus did operate turboprop aircraft, but nothing comparable to the C-130 and Aer Lingus aircraft would not be painted in military grey.Historical documents indicate that the Irish troops flew on a United States Air Force C-124 Globemaster II, a long-range heavy-lift strategic transport retired from service in 1974 and last flown in 1986. At the time of filming, all surviving Globemaster II aircraft were in storage or on static display in the Republic of Korea or the United States. Using an inauthentic C-130 was presumably more convenient and less expensive, as the South African Air Force operated the type locally, whereas using a C-124 would have required shooting the sequence in a different country.
