Default Someone just came up for early retirement.... *USAF Cargo plane crash pics*

follow the link, open the powerpoint.

My dad sent me this. Flew C-130 for 26 years in the Air Force.


Construction on a runway went un-announced to others. C-130 was FUBAR after it tried to land at night, and 'stumbled' upon this breakdown in communication.

USAF is tryingto cut 18,000 more personel. Looks like some of the airmen are up for early retirement

Thank God there were no fatalities. :eek4:



It's amazing that the fuselage is still largely intact.
