KCHS is a used both by military (C17 are based there) and Commercial/GA and is a "continuously" operated Class C.

There is no MOA in play in this accident. PurpleToolBox might be on to something with the approach scenario. It'll be interesting to find out what altitude they were.

The TACAN to 15's procedure turn looks close to the site (minimum altitude on that approach segment is 1600)

RIP.
Not hard to imagine at all with a nose-high F16 at approach speeds descending and a high wing Cessna below radar coverage, or just popping up.
