Having been an air crewman on a C-130 variant, I can tell you there has never been a successful ditching at sea.

I have over 5000 hours as a C-130 loadmaster and I know of at least one C-130 ditching where the aircraft remained intact and eight people survived. That was a Colombian C-130 that ditched in 1982.

I’m glad they made it.

A rarity for sure.

As you learned in your training.
