It won't have been completely empty, that's for sure. I think they normally carry a crew of up to 6 if carrying loadmasters etc.

At the moment no details have been released as to what the aircraft was doing, how many were on board or whether it was one of the new C-130Js or one of the older C-130Ks.

Eric. You should change your nickname to Doctor Death! Review your posts & see how many involve death, or death potential!

I know accountants are supposed to be dour....but you're taking that far too seriously!

it is a tragady when anyone dies at war, but these planes can carry alot of people lets hope it wasnt full of people, so there may only be 6 unlucky familys rather that 100+ unhappy familys

Towman - never a truer word was said in jest.

In fact, apart from Christmas Day, today was the first day since November when I haven't done some work.

So his real name's Mort, and his wife is called Ysabell?

Edit: sorry, didn't mean that to sound too jokey.

Sorry

Wreckage over a wide area means break-up or explosion in mid-air.

I can't imagine they'd let a bomb get through security, so my bet is a ground-to-air missile.
