Very sad, condolences to the families. I have a family member that flew KC-135 refuelers for 20 years in the NJ Air National Guard. He risked his life every time he strapped into the cockpit. God bless our vets.

As a retired Air Crew member my heart is very heavy. My sincere condolences to the families left behind. Know your guys went out doing what they absolutely loved doing. There is a HUGE difference between doing something because you have to vs doing something because you want to even when it is the same exact thing, i.e. the difference between the volunteer reserve force vs active duty full time.

The NJ Air Guard has never flown KC-130's, 135's yes, and still presently flying. 130's no!

I stand corrected, yes 135's.
 
I have 2000+ hours as Navy Aircrew on c-130's. What a tragedy. The c-130 has so many backup systems.....what went wrong? Look like it was a real nice day to do some touch and goes.....so so sad for so many.
 
I heard that this plane was on it's way to the boneyard, sad all the way around.
 
R.I.P.
 
Grim and chilling video from a security camera:

 
They where flyng to Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona.Wonder if they where taking the C-130 to be mothballed. next to the base is the aircraft storage facility for military planes and the pimp air museum.God Bless them

I saw that earlier and at normal speed. It didn't look like it stalled, it looked like it just rolled & nosed over. All these plane crashes lately, civilian & Military, I'm just glad I'm retired and not flyin anymore.
 
It was from the Puerto Rican Air Guard. Maybe their maintenance budget suffered because they're going broke.
 
Prayers to all of the families involved!!!!

Kinda nerve racking watching that video since our location is absolutely dead nuts straight north of JBLM airstrip.....
 
First vthingbtheybwill look nato is the "Form F". This is the document that records and campuses the center of balance for the aircraft. If it was wrong for some reason that will be a major factor. Second thing they will look for his wether or not cargo may have shifted during takeoff, thereby throwing the aircraft out of balance and not controllable. Straight down it seems like it, but it could be any number of things.

Why would they be haulin pallets of cargo to the boneyard? Unless they're haulin extra parts and stuff. The form F and the cockpit voice recorder is about all they have to go on, not much of a plane left.

Agreed, just saying the form F is usually the first thing they look at unless there was a more Very obvious reason. 130 is a pretty forgiving airplane so something pretty serious occurred.
