The document summarizes the logistics and operations of recovering an EP-3 aircraft at Lingshui Air Base in China using an AN-124 aircraft over several flights between June and July 2001. The AN-124 flights transported salvaged parts and sections of the disassembled EP-3 out of China. Strict controls were put in place on cargo weights and fuel to avoid further damaging the airfield not designed for large aircraft. Lockheed Martin led the recovery efforts and had medical and evacuation plans in place given the hot working conditions. The Chinese military closely monitored operations and had many rules in place.
