Reports of a US registered C130 down near Cooma. SAR choppers heading out now.
From NSWRFS: The NSW Rural Fire Service is investigating reports of a serious incident involving an aircraft in southern NSW this afternoon. Contact was lost with a Large Air Tanker which was working in the Snowy Monaro area. Local ground crews indicate the aircraft may have crashed. A number of helicopters are in the area carrying out a search. No further information is available at this time. |

Large Air Tanker (C130) Bomber 134/N134CG Down in Australia
Sounds like a LAT working in Southern NSW has crashed, appears to be N134CG

This article:
https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ne...c0ec46273d22a2 Says the crash is in Peak View https://goo.gl/maps/y35Ye6ViVBQadvQC6 |
Both flightaware and FR24 tracks end rather abruptly with several helicopters rather quickly making their way to the last "known" location.
Might ad, looks like the ABC report doesn't show the correct airframe. |
A Royal Australian Airforce P-8-A is circling just north of Peak View.

RAAF A47-005 P-8A Poseidon as "BLACKCAT 50" currently searching for a missing C-130 Large Air Tanker in the Snowy Mountains region of NSW, Australia. NSW RFS confirmed that a C-130 is currently missing and a SAR operation is taking place |
Hoping this is not a Coulson aircraft. They have bomber 134 registered as N130CG. Fingers crossed for the crew.

The speed fluctuates wildly, very bad turbulence in the lee of those hills. Structural failure?

It hurts all when fellow aviators take their final flight. RIP -(

Channel 7 News is reporting that witnesses saw the C130 crash in a ball of fire. 3 crew on board. It looks like the chances of survivors would be very slim.
