Did i miss something? When was the previous?
This is the second C-130 crash in the last 5 days. https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20180429-1
It's not just C-130's though. Seems like military craft are falling out of the sky at an unusual rate. Could just be more media coverage though.
F-16 jet pilot ejection 4/25/2018
AH-64 Helicopter crash 4/7/2018
F-16 jet crash 4/5/2018
CH-53E helicopter crash 4/4/2018
Harrier crash 4/3/2018
All of the above are non-combat accidents that occurred in the last 30 days, and all but the AH-64 are Lockheed Martin manufactured aircraft. Make of that what you will.
Wow I guess I some how missed those. That's quite a trip. That does make me wonder about Martin's aircraft. But why would it go south all at once? Software perhaps?
Another one? Either US hardware just isn't being maintained anymore, or something seriously fuckey is going on.
