In light of this mornings mid-air refueling crash off the coast of Japan involving a C-130 and an F-18, this report takes on added meaning.
Is there a problem with the C-130 maintenance program?

The Hornet/Herc incident was most likely a mid-air during night refueling.

If I was a leader in ISIS, I would have my people in America volunteer for the services, and get assigned to the repair area where the most damage could be done. Conspiracy theory??? Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of men? (Yeah, I know, who does.)

If it happened over Itta Bena, it could have been a collision with a mosqito. They’re as big as C-130s in that area.

I would say, on the whole the United States military has the best maintenance practices in the world.
But we've got a LOT of equipment in inventory, and it is impossible to "dummy-proof" the world.
There are a lot of knuckleheads about, not normally a big issue, except when some are working aviation.

Anyone know where to find this report?

“The report mentioned 17 recommendations to prevent a similar occurrence, and Brig. Gen. John Kubinec told the Telegraph those changes have been made. “

Maintenance and Repair aren't big shiny new toys, useful in garnering votes.

Not necessarily. This could have been a local problem adhering to the guidelines.
