That was as close as you can get to total disaster and still live to talk about it.
Seat cushions are still there they just smell funny.

Well the C130 is a Boeing so they just slapped a few parts back on her, used a dab or two of bondo, some paint... POOF..she is flying again...

Such bullshit. If the Army wants it, they can have it. They'll regret it soon enough, since its an unsupportable piece of shit. |

1997, A C-130 and an F-16 collided in mid-air over Pope AFB. C-130 lost it's vertical stabilizer (rudder) and the F-16 crashed after the pilot ejected.
F-16 crashed on Green Ramp during a marshaling. 24 troops killed, more than 100 injured. |

The report is complete on the December incident in which an Army Special Operations Command C-27J aircraft collided with an Air Force C-130H aircraft in the air over Fort Bragg in December.

The memorial service is on You Tube in about six parts. For about a year there were dudes up and down Ardennes with neoprene looking sleeves over their burns, skin grafts, and scars.

We had just airlifted our 58s out on a couple of C-141s a few of days before the Green Ramp Disaster. One of my CW2s had a wife that was just getting ready to get on the plane for a jump. Her ear got burned slightly. She was one of the lucky ones.

Training missions were WAY scarier to me than any combat mission.
Schedulers were always trying to get everybody's semiannual requirements done before next deployment, and upgrades (like this lead upgrade C130 MP). These night missions were always packed with additional crewmembers waiting for their time in the seat, and you had to do all these multiple seat swaps on NVGs, while enroute, etc. Lord, how I hated it. Plus, escape from Luzon to head back to Pope you're doing about 5 checklists and radios at once, very high workload time of mission. I can't believe they said the C-130 MP was complacent, 1500 hours--pretty ripe for an incident, but I can't see complacency. 500 hour CP, too. At this stage in their career they are pretty amped, especially with an IP standing behind them. I'll make my obligatory joke since some others already have: this mission there was more than just the LM that called "load clear"

Not to drag this off topic but: When I was stationed at Cam Rahn Bay Vietnam in 1971 I witnessed an almost mid air. The Air Force base was between the Navy and the Army base. Our main runway ran right up to the beach road. The Army had a habit of running UH1's along the beach road to the Navy hospital. One afternoon a heavy C130 used up just about all that runway and had just pulled the wheels up when all of a sudden it was fully on its side to avoid slamming into a UH1 that was a little too high crossing in front of it. The C130 appeared to hang in the air as it was slowly returned to level flight and went on its way.
