Default CG C-130/USMC AH-1 midair

from fox news - The U.S. Coast Guard reports one of its planes has collided with a military helicopter off the coast of Southern California.
There were seven people on board the C-130 plane that is missing and two in the helicopter, Ian Gregor of the FAA told local news media.
A pilot reported seeing a fireball at about 7 p.m. Thursday in the vicinity of the suspected crash site, about 17 miles east of San Clemente Island, the farthest south of the Channel Islands.
The pilots were not talking to FAA air traffic controllers at the time of the collision.
Cpl. Michael Stevens said the helicopter is an AH1-Cobra, which is classified as a light attack helicopter.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Allyson Conroy said several vessels were scouring the area.
Earlier, the Coast Guard had said a Navy helicopter crashed into the sea.

Hope some made it out. Thoughts and prayers go out to the families...
