11bee Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Just read this. Can't believe the US military has had yet another fatal mishap. Horrible... I hope the military takes a hard look at training and maintenance issues. It's been a rough couple of years with regard to aircraft (and more importantly, aircrew) losses.

tosouthern66 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Thoughts and Prayers go out to the crew, their families and there fellow service members. Hope the rest of the crews are found alive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 This incident serves as a sober reminder of how difficult and dangerous a job our military has. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to plug into a C-130 at night, in weather, and over the ocean with little to no visual reference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
