There were no other people on the plane pete. Just a two person crew. on planes like that...there is no crew chief. I've flown plenty of Army fixed wing aircraft over the years with all there was...was the pilot in command and the co pilot. No crew chief like on a helo.
If all they were was a comms relay node like the plane is designed for...no other crew is necessary to operate the radios.
Take the tinfoil off...you're buying into the Iranian/Taliban conspiracy/propaganda crap like they want you too.
I was writing about cargo planes,and the aircraft I was vaguely aware of back then they monitored electronic transmissions. I mostly flew in/jumped out of C-123's and C-130's,but had occasional Caribou rides and was a passenger in a LOT of helicopters,some flown by pilots in foreign air forces. Basically,I got on anything flying that was going where I wanted or needed to go.
As for the tinfoil hat thing,I never wore a tinfoil hat,but I did wear sterile uniforms,carry foreign weapons or US weapons with serial numbers that had been reported as stolen,no ID card,and no dog tags on missions to places we weren't supposed to be,and where the government denied knowing us if we were captured or killed.
Yeah,there is a lot of tinfoil hat stuff out there,but not all of it is someone's delusion.
