37th TAS C-130E #68-10946 is off the end of the runway at Biebelstadt Army Airfield, Germany after crash landing. Buffeted by high winds on final approach the landing gear collapsed and the number one engine caught fire on touchdown. The propeller disintegrated, three crewmembers were injured, and there were no fatalities. Photographed here sometime in November 1984. [USAF photo by SSGT Dave Nolan]
