Do refueling planes normally carry so many people?
Do refueling planes normally carry so many people?
I don’t think so. This tragedy is probably due to how depleted and unprepared the military has become after 16 years of wars and 8 years of POS Obama.
The USMC KC-130 is a dual-use plane which can be configured separately for refueling (K) or cargo (C) by adding or removing internal fuel bladders.
I believe it was a cargo and refueling plane. When I was in the USAF, on KC-135s we often carried lots of people to various destinations, but few on refueling missions unless they were on “Flying status” and earning their flying time.
Sometimes. If there’s space available, they release seats to space-A passengers who want to go to the plane’s destination.
