“According to the RAF Report the C-130 was flying at a low level, not 30,000 feet.”

Nope. I don’t believe that for a minute.

I flew in US and Aussie C-130s in Iraq. They corkscrewed in and out of the airports. It would make me sick. They flew at altitude. From the video their C-130 was above 15,000 easily.

No one flew under 15,000.

The insurgents used the unguided rocket attack from 2004 on. I watched one of those attacks made from right outside Camp Alpha (Babylon) the night Fallujah I kicked off. There was a nav beacon at the base the carrier aircraft were using. It was a pitch black night, overcast. Heard the aircraft and went outside. Saw the rockets go up, then heard an increasingly loud engine whine followed a brrrrrraaaappp. No more rockets. Bunch of dumbasses.

So the RAF lied in their official report?
