KC-135 refueling tanker plane 'crashes in Kyrgyzstan after take off'

We have been reminded dearly this week about the seriousness of non-passenger aviation. My heart goes out to the and their familes.

I know a guy who used to be in that squadron. He knew the crew. RIP

Condolences to the people of the plane kit and Wedge to loss of lives working in silence

Muito trágico. Infelizmente, os imprevistos acontecem. Condolências a seus familiares.

More of these as our Air Force ages, and will soon become a third rate entity in the armed forces of the
world. IT IS NO ACCIDENT THAT OUR MILITARY BUDGET CONTINUES TO BE REDUCED.

I vote "KC-135 refueling tanker plane" headline for the Department of Redundancy Department award.

There was no mid air explosion. The plane did not breakup into three pieces. There was no parachute visible. Somebody was drinking too much goat milk!
