BillyVance 34 #1 May 3, 2018 It was apparently on its last flight, on the way to Arizona to be decommissioned. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/c-130-military-plane-was-on-its-last-ever-flight/ar-AAwFUBH?li=BBnb4R7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=56&v=ldwWfQb4Odo Plane can be seen starting at 23 seconds. And again at about 2:40. This second camera view shook from the force of the explosion. Anybody have any idea what might have happened?

Holy shit!When I heard a news report that it dove nose-first into the ground, I thought it was just sloppy reporting. I didn't know there was video!

irishrigger 31 #3 May 3, 2018 To low and to slow. To me it looks like the aircraft stalled and lost control. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMARG, also known as "The Boneyard," is an Arizona facility where the military keeps thousands of aircraft, as well as spacecraft. Boone said he couldn't specify what type of maintenance the aircraft underwent." https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/03/us/military-plane-crash-savannah-georgia/index.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
