That's an interesting story and very sad indeed.

I am curious though ... how can one make a phone call from a C-130?

What a horrible story. I could have done without having read that :(

Sorry about that, I understand what you mean though. It intrigued me as I'd never heard of the incident before.

I'm intrigued too for various reasons. Such as how the hell did he pull ... part of it off. And what really happened? Was he shot down or did his lack of skill kill 'em? Maybe he didn't flip enough switches or something ... or maybe he didn't press the flair/chaff button in time.  As sad as the story is it certainly is interesting.

There are countless mistakes he could have made that would have sent him down into the water. I doubt he was shot down.

There is a happier story about a mechanic that stole an A-4 Skyhawk... and flew it just fine, then landed safely.
