How realistic is this plan, anyway? Are there any C-130 airframes out
there to be had? Or, like John Cleese in the Cheese Shop sketch, is this
an act of the purest optimism on the part of the procurement folks to
pose the question in the first place.


The C-130 fire bomber crash in California put many of the airframes on a
course for being beer cans.

Yes, that's a real scary clip isn't it?...both wings came off
like they were made of cheese...I have it here somewhere...
