BETTER Pic: USAF C-130J wrecked in hard Afghanistan landing

Post by Stratofreighter »

KABUL, Afghanistan (May 19, 2013) – An International Security Assistance Force C-130 had a hard landing in Logar province, Afghanistan today.

There are no casualties, and there was no indication of insurgent activity in the area at the time.

Just found a picture on instagram made two days ago which shows 04-3144 being cut up somewhere in Afghanistan, so I presume it is this aircraft which had a hard landing.
