Photo of USMC KC-130F #148895 shortly after it crashed on February 11, 2002 while it was with VMGR-252.
Crash after engines failed during a touch-and-go landing at Twenty-nine Palms, California. Two engines had fuel starvation resulting in the crash, but fortunately the crew survived.
After investigation it was determined that all boost pumps were shut off and the wrong engine(s) were shut down.
