S-130 was again noted: the Hercules transporter “plowed” the soil when landing

The C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft manufactured by the American corporation Lockheed Martin is perhaps the most emergency product in its class. Moreover, he is the most common air "truck" in the world. This aircraft is operated in 20 countries. In total, over 425 units in various modifications were produced during the production of the machine.

A month ago, the last accident related to Hercules occurred. Then the U.S. Air Force plane landing at the Iraqi airbase, went beyond the runway and caught fire. On Sunday, July 5, an incident occurred again, in which the S-130 was noted.

The S-130, belonging to the South African Air Force, was taken outside the runway, it "plowed" the hull adjacent to it and stopped. Judging by the photographs, this time the fire was avoided. No casualties reported. The accident occurred at the local Easterleat airbase, located in Cape Town.

In recent years, information about defects accompanying the operation of the S-130 has constantly appeared in the media. The latest iterations of American transporters are also flawed. At the same time, purchases of problem aircraft continue. So, in January of this year, the U.S. armed forces purchased 50 new machines of the type C-130J Super Hercules with a total value of more than $ 3 billion.

bye. found something to write about. ordinary case.

In total, over 425 units in various modifications were produced during the production of the machine.

Something not enough "Hercules" ..
In the USSR, the An-12 was mass-produced at three aircraft factories in:
Irkutsk, 1957 — 1962 years, 155 copies;
Voronezh, 1960 — 1965 years, 258 copies;
Tashkent, 1962 — 1972 years, 830 copies.
Not counting the An-10 and the Chinese clone

[voyaka uh]

What 450? They were produced by more than 2500 pieces.

[dauria]

What 450?

So I'm talking about the same ... But the phrase from the article.

[NIKN]

Far right engine, screw screwed. apparently on this and made the right.

[TermNachTer]

So what's the problem? Problem with equipment or with pilots?

[NIKN]

Apparently with the technique, I’m not used to claim without investigation (it’s not accepted in aviation), but the screw will automatically fly when the engine fails. Apparently they did not hold with asymmetric traction, perhaps the wind helped lateral.
PS: personal opinion.

[TermNachTer]

Well, the engine, too, just does not fail. Either improper operation or improper maintenance? Or is it still a pilot’s mistake

[NIKN]

I wrote above

I’m not used to claim without investigation

You asked, I personally told my opinion. There’s nothing more to add.

[TermNachTer]

Wait a minute, maybe something will come up if they don't keep it secret.

[NIKN]

It is unlikely that they will be brought to the press. And the incident itself will be forgotten tomorrow.

[Vicontas]

It is not otherwise that some old man Hottabych and Aladdin have again cursed the Americans!

What a miracle of technology. He also knows how to plow the earth.

[Cowbra]

B-1B too:

Judging by the images (according to some signs taken at the Dice airbase), the plane was forced to make an emergency landing in excess of the permitted landing weight, as a result of which the tire covers burst and the racks caught fire. It is assumed that the equipment failed in flight, requiring an emergency landing ...

In general, this in dynamics looks like in 1994 in Germany -

Conclusion from Firsov -

It is worth noting that according to the budget of the US Air Force, it is planned to withdraw 17 B-1 from service next year, and according to a five-year plan, it is planned to completely remove B-1 from service. They say that the use of the B-1 for direct support in battles in the Near and Middle East "specifically shattered the fleet of" strategists ". How are they going to re-equip them with hypersonic missiles - hell knows.

But this is more interesting MUCH

[TermNachTer]

Hang your hypersounds, if they certainly will be on I - 52)))

[Evil 55]

So 70 years of operation ... what else would you like ..

[rotmistr60]

Happened a month ago last Hercules accident

Is it the last? Perhaps it was more correct to write the extreme?

[NDR-791]

Not IL-76, however. You can’t put it on every field.

[parma]

The author of the article is mistaken, C-130 of all modifications of about 3000 was made, which makes it perhaps the most popular transport carrier in the world ... today they produce C-130j super hercules, they have already produced about 20 in 500 years (the plane flies like a hot pie, even in it’s not always possible to combat such a series) .. so there’s no need to talk about a big accident (even taking into account a series of new aircraft) .. why I don’t understand why to fly the South African Air Force, they have a S-130V (this is an aircraft built in the late 50s and early 60s). .. in general, news for the sake of news and "and the neighbor’s cottage burned down" ...

Of course, I understand that the Internet depersonalizes, but nevertheless, the subject must be studied before publication.

[AUL]

Well, such statements must be supported by numbers. For example, the number of accidents / the number of departures. And certainly in comparison with the "classmates".

[tralflot1832]

For me, only useful information is that the photos are white. In South Africa, it’s terrible for them now. I haven’t met any information so that the white Yuarovites kneel before the blacks.

[5-9]

What is Heracles ... though it didn’t seem to crash too much


The F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter crashed while landing at Utah Hill Air Base. Thus, given the F-22 crashed, this is the third fifth-generation fighter lost by the US Air Force in the past month. It is worth noting that in an incomplete year there were five air disasters with the latest aircraft of these types.
US F-35 fighter crashed while landing on June 8. This was the third accident with testing fifth-generation fighters in the United States in less than a month. According to reports, the F-35 fighter, which was associated with the 388th fighter wing, completed the training task. According to the command of the base, the pilot quickly left the fighter after the landing of the fighter and is currently undergoing a planned medical examination. Due to a breakdown in the fighter’s chassis, the runway at Hill Air Force Base was closed, and the fighters, which were still training in the air, were transferred to other bases.

[Cowbra]

Yeah. There over the last month that just did not fall:

Ferret "Wild weasel"
At the Shaw airbase, an F-16 crashed - a rather rare modification - SM, the so-called "Wild Weasel" - specially adapted to suppress enemy air defense systems (locators, air defense systems, etc.).

Prior to this, there were ospreys, transporters in Iraq and another bag of onions ... Although this is garbage - Canadians generally Board No. 1 hit, trying to throw into the hangar

[voyaka uh]

Is this Hercules attributed to troubled aircraft?
In the Israeli army they say: "only two Hercules are better than Hercules."
A symbol of utility and reliability.
They were produced by more than 2500 pieces, and are driven in the tail and mane on all continents

[Cowbra]

The Israeli army says that the F-35 is not a sucker. Not an indicator. Especially if you remember that in Israel they still fly on the radioactive Stylen, only when one of them burned down last November and it turned out. that the survivors are ka-specifically

[voyaka uh]

Are you talking about Sikorski helicopters? I myself flew them in the 90s. They are ancient, but long-playing. Although it is time to urgently change them, of course.
And to study the F-35 in Israel every year pilots of NATO countries come to the Blue Flag exercises. They organize joint flights of Typhoons, F-18 and other fighters with F-35. To show the possibilities and study the tactics of application. F-35 becomes the main workhorse of the Israeli Air Force. F-16 is gradually decommissioned.

[Cowbra]

Quote: voyaka uh

F-16 is gradually decommissioned.

But in the United States resume purchases of F-15 and reduce purchases of F-35. No, it’s clear that a manufacturer buys worse for himself. So after all

Quote: voyaka uh

In the Israeli army they say

[voyaka uh]

F-15s purchase two squadrons in the "weapon platform" variant. With 28 explosive missiles. This, in fact, is no longer quite a fighter - it cannot maneuver. It can fly straight and shoot far away from other planes. The same F-35.
And the procurement of F-35 goes according to a multi-year plan. The total number is not reduced.

[Cowbra]

Quote: voyaka uh

The total number is not reduced.

Especially from the ILC! Not tired?

Quote: voyaka uh

This, in fact, is no longer quite a fighter - he cannot maneuver.

Better! P your F-35 - maybe, or "he is a fighter, but the fighter does not have to maneuver"? The fat penguin is called so because it can fly either slowly and only in a straight line, or fast - but only down, no maneuvers!

That's what the desire to lie - because the most important minus, in addition to the uselessness of stealth - he himself mentioned

[askort154]

Judging by the photo for the article, here the type of aircraft that descended from the runway is not the main thing.
The main thing is that this runway (Runway) has no signs of the presence of a BSP (Side Safety Lane), with an increased soil density, in case the plane "leaves" the runway. So: S-130, An-12, or Il-76, etc. - would have suffered the same fate.
It’s not the plane’s fault, but the arrangement of the airdrome (if you do not take into account the crew’s error in maintaining the direction after landing, or the brake system is malfunctioning), the runway itself, in excellent condition, is dry and clean.

[seregin-s1]

Let the planes spend slowly!

[L-39NG]

Okay, in the title photo of the C-130J-30 Super Hercules, these have not been involved in accidents yet, and the one that "planted potatoes" is most likely an old man C-130H Factsheet short, but can be restored without problems. Technique is technique. And the Merciers need service, and the superjets, they say, kill people.

[iouris]

The author "plowed" the topic, but in the wrong direction, the text is "information noise". The main thing (the reasons for the aviation incident or accident), I never found out.
