:( RIP Soldiers.
Good to know... These guys are among the best in the Air Force.
YEP.........................
Puerto Rico Ping! Please Freepmail me if you want on or off the list.
You can thank Obama and his Democrats for the miserable shape our military aircraft are in and, all other military equipment are in, he cut just about every cent out of our military budget for maintenance and mechanic training, cut the training hours for flight crews. So....who was the one that was colluding with the Russians. Barack Hussein Obama and the entire Democrat Party, their mission.....destroy the USA nation Republic.
It’s not your imagination, but you won’t be happy at the given reason. Take a look here:

I have followed these crashes, along with the accompanying mayhem and vehicles and buildings burning and exploding for some time. I do not know the stats, and do not know if this is completely accurate. I would like very much for this person’s blog to be incorrect. Any comment on this would be welcome.
It seems so to me.
How many of our Navy ships got rammed by unarmed foreign ships/tankers - three?
Notice the complete story of what happened in most of these plane or helicopter or ship incidents rarely sees the light of day.
Training crashes happen, we all know that. But suppressing information on so many leads some to believe the causes of these mishaps are politically correct in nature.
Only the straight white male can be publicly blamed.
WC-130. Tail number 65-0968. Puerto Rico Air National Guard. Enroute to Davis Monthan AFB, AZ
Damn.
Hacked?
Godspeed Airmen.

Former USAF C-141 loadmaster
My sister lives at the end of the runway of an Air Forces base that,among other things.does maintenance on the C-5.Those things take off low,slow and loud right over her house constantly.When I see one I'm always half expecting it to drop to the ground.
Army/Navy/Air Force/Marine Corps aviation is dangerous work.
If it did a barrel role it had to be mechanical. I was a passenger on some long flights on the C130. Always felt safe. But coldef than Greenland in the winter time at high altitude.
Take off are optional. Landings are NOT.
Stalled
C-130’s are STOL aircraft (short takeoff and landing.) If the payload was not properly distributed and the pilot attempted a short/steep takeoff, it could’ve rolled over from lack of aerodynamic lift.
Stupid Fox article. Others reporting this news no earlier than Fox were able to report how many died in the crash - 5. It is ridiculous that the Fox folks left that out.
New video on WTOC of the actual crash.
Scary stuff, not for the weak.
