Skyviper 1,101 Posted July 11, 2017 Link to story A KC-130, a refueling tanker, crashed into a rural field in the Mississippi Delta. The reason for the mishap is unknown. 15 Marines dead along with 1 Navy Corpsman. Link to Bing Video of crash. Looking at the vegetation around it, it looks like is just crashed straight into the ground. As in I can't see where they did a wheels up landing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted July 11, 2017 I had the pleasure to jump from a VMGR-252 KC-130 about a year ago, great guys. Godspeed Leathernecks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted July 11, 2017 It sounds like structural failure in flight leading to an attempted landing that didn't make it. Very sad and hits home to me. I lost four friends/shipmates in three crashes that were structural failures in flight of old aircraft still in service. R.I.P., shipmates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
