The mission took place about three years after U.S. forces invaded Panama, removing dictator Manuel Noriega from power. Some members of the 914th had participated in the invasion, called Operation Just Cause.

Noriega was brought to the U.S. where he was tried and convicted of drug trafficking, racketeering, and money laundering.

WIVB-TV reporter Rich Newberg and photographer Paul Woodson accompanied the 914th on the mission and produced a four part series for the station. ]]> Newberg, Rich (Producer, Writer, Reporter)]]> Woodson, Paul (Photographer, editor)]]> Murphy, Kurt (Graphic Artist)]]> Nolf, Neil (Niagara Falls Airbase Public Affairs Officer)]]> eng]]>
