From wiki: June 17, 2002 : While fighting a fire in northern California, the starboard wing of a C-130A Hercules, N130HP, former USAF 56-0538, c.n. 3146, operated by Hawkins & Powers Aviation, came off as the centre wing box failed during a pull-out from a drop near Walker, California, followed less than a second later by the port wing. It rolled inverted and crashed into the forest, killing all three crew. This second C-130A fire fighting crash, coupled with the loss of PB4Y-2, BuNo 66260, N7620C at Estes Park, Colorado on July 18, 2002, resulted in the Interior Department canceling its contract for all heavy tankers.[31][32][33] (See 2002 airtanker crashes) 作者: louise 時間: 27-4-2008 14:42
