Military: 4 crewmen dead in C-130 air tanker crash
DENVER (AP) — Air Force C-130 tankers will resume firefighting flights Tuesday after the crash of another tanker plane over the weekend that left four crew members dead and two others seriously injured, the military said.
The crash of one of the specially equipped C-130s Sunday while fighting a wildfire in the Black Hills of South Dakota prompted officials to ground the seven remaining planes in the fleet.
The C-130 was from an Air National Guard wing based in Charlotte, N.C., and was carrying a crew of six.
