😔 Guard C-130 Down
 
Guard C-130 down near Savanah. Doesn’t look good......

Another site (unverified) says it is a Puerto Rico Guard plane, was on its way to the boneyard, and had been on the Savanah ramp for several days....

They also said two dead, and three survivors. Steep roll just after liftoff. :(

Again, all unverified.

Local news is claiming a PR ANG aircraft with five aboard. And no, it doesn't look good.

Looks like no survivors now. Godspeed.

Terrible news. It's been a rough year it seems.

C-130 Crash at SAV
 
Crash was caught on video. I flew C-130's back in the 1980's and I'm still scratching my head. If a prop had a major issue, or if wing structural occurred that might explain it. News says (not exactly always accurate) the plane had just taken off.

I’m hearing from a Herc person it was headed to the boneyard. YGBSM.
Those older Hercs need to be parked.
