I've had an airforce talon tucked away for 2 or 3 years. I got it out for my son to play with but it seems the tank valve is stuck. I fill from a scuba tank. When I reach pressure, I am unable to remove the tank from adapter unless I bleed off all pressure. Any ideas?

That’s normal after you fill any pcp rifle you need to depressurize the line for the tank inorder to disconnect
this is what I would use if I was filling from a scuba tank

Air Force will fix the tank. There is a pressure valve involved that shuts the bottle off from the air supply when you bleed the air from the feed line.
Or...you can take the valve assembly out of the bottle, it unscrews, and clean it. Air Force should be the ones to take responsibility for this. They are in the phone book. Call them!

This happened to me once, on a new PCP I bought. After filling the rifle, it dumped all the air from the reservoir when I bled the line line. I almost took it back, but decided to try it once again. This time opening the valve on my bottle to the gun quickly. I thought the same thing you did, the valve is stuck, so let’s try to “shock” it loose. I did this several times and then filled the guns reservoir to the required bar amount, I think 210 or something. I also cracked my air line bleeder quickly this time and it the valve did seat and hold air. If this didn’t work, and it dumped all the air again, I may have tried to lightly tap the fill valve to get it seat. I wouldn’t try to do that with your fill source hooked up, that could be deadly if you broke fill adapter or whip. Best of luck, be careful, these fill pressures are no joke.

Sounds like why I was told to leave my Edgun full, or at least over half full.
That way the o-rings stay in place and seal better, longer.
Though I know they all will loose their resiliency at some point in time.
