re: #124 Shiplord Kirel, live from behind wingnut lines
Just realized that the KC-130 apparently hit inverted. Note tail ramp, lower left.

An AC-130 accidentally lost control going inverted during test flight maneuvers two years ago. It had to be scrapped after G limit overload.
My first stepdad sold computers to McChord AFB and as a favor one of his contacts there got me some time on the 130 simulator in 1991. It’s an incredibly stable aircraft and while I’m no expert I suspect the pilot was doing something way off script.
