  • I was on the ground crew of that plane from Al Udeid AB Quatar and I waived it out the day it crashed. It was an Air Force Reserve aircraft from Pope AFB, North Carolina. I was also in the crash investigation for this plane. The Base Hospitol at Al Udeid AB Quatar took 5 viles of blood from me and made me take a piss test even though the cause was pilot error. The pilot over corrected for a missle warning indicator on the flight deck. Proud to have served!

  • Hate to see a Herky Bird go down. One of the finest aircraft ever made.

  • @Eamon851 You have the reason for the crash landing wrong.

  • @Snipe4261 The entire underbelly of the floor was pushed up inside the aircraft about 3 feet and the wing box had stress cracks from the landing. The only things worth salvaging were the engines and a few computer parts.

  • @Eamon851 Anytime an Air Force plane goes down, the last people who handeled it, has to go do the drug test thing. I had to do it 2 times in less than one year at Cannon AFB, when 2 F-111's went down. I was a weapons loader, and the crashes weren't weapons systems related, but that doesn't matter. F-111's crashed pretty frequently. They have to rule out all possibilities.

  • This coming from a combat aircraft recovery person, that aircraft would be extremmely hard to recover. Would have taken a lot of time to plan, and would not have been more fesible to try to recover.

  • trailer??

  • It didn't look like it was in very bad shape at all and those things are $62 million each. Even if it wasn't in a secure location, I would think they would've still tried to recover it, anyone know why they didn't?

  • Poor C-130! Why don't recycle the materials?
