The Great Ongoing Aviation Thread (general and other)

Not exactly sure of where this was but you get (unplanted or very low crops) farms (this time of year) somewhere west of Allentown, its not all forests but a two-lane interstate is paved, just wide enough for a little plane & probably not too heavily trafficked on a Saturday morning. Except for some motorist inconvenience there was no damage to anything or one so can’t say it was a bad decision to land there.

I’d agree, but that may missing crew would come out; it would be a good conspiracy to think it would remain silent. Even if they rescued everyone, w/o injuries, the fleet of maintainers would notice three missing aircraft (& I’m guessing the helicopter maintainers are a separate unit from the C-130 ones, so two groups have to keep the secret.)

I’m now reading that the US intentionally destroyed two disabled C-130s on the ground in Iran rather than let anyone get anything from them, & also a Warthog going down in Kuwait…conspiracy theory averted!

C-130 Hercules: the redshirt of Iran rescue missions.

At least this time it wasn’t a complete CHARLIE FOXTROT that killed a bunch of other operators.
