Reports the planes that flew in to rescue the Americans on the ground, after the MC-130s got bogged, were Airbus C-295s.
I have never heard of the US operating any of these.
May be a case of mistaken identity as the US does operate CN-235s in small numbers and they look very similiar.
Presumably chosen as they are much lighter than the MC-130s and less likely to get bogged.
