The ATC Audio download is worth listening to. (Link in story) Last edited by Pugs; 09/30/20. Reason: fix title If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

Looking at the picture of the KC-130 just sitting in the field on its belly like it just taxied there. Impressive. Hats off. Glad all survived...

It is not a good combination. We will all learn what happened here - eventually. But in my mind, it's two very dissimilar aircraft trying to occupy the same piece of air at the same time. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

Reminds me of the old adage "If you aren't terrified , you dont understand the situation". Glad everyone got out OK, some great flying by the C-130 crew.
