See above, can't find a single news story or post which says any of those things.
There was a story in the ALPA magazine in the '80's about an civil American Herc being captured by rebels in Angola. Thought at least one crew member died and the aircraft was destroyed.
Pretty sure it was Transamerica, but I'd have to look for the article.
