C-130 Rolling down the strip.........
I’m curious what happened to collide with 1,3,&4 but skip prop 2. I can imagine colliding with the pair but hitting opposite props ends of the wing with no apparent other damage is interesting.
Airborne daddy gonna take a little trip......C-130 Rolling down the strip.........
C-130 Rolling down the strip.........
Now I'm curious. Are you speculating a refueling hose held an F35 and whipped it all the way to the #1 engine on the other side of an airborne C-130?I'm just as curious... my learned speculation is the F35 got stuck on the drogue and whipped about colliding into 3 of the KC130 props...
That’s what I’m going with, since the crew told ATC that they had 2 out.... https://news.usni.org/2020/10/01/marines-release-more-details-on-f-35b-kc-130j-collisionAre we sure that third prop didn’t get damaged from the landing?

At this junction we don't know for sure how the 3rd prop got damaged but what is so perplexing is the norm that prop strikes during belly landings tend to damage more than one blade...
How many blades on #1 look damaged?
I'll help you out, it's more than 1 damaged. Now, please tell me how far you're gonna fly with #3 INOP (or 2&3 in a hypothetical) and how many 2 eng approaches with any combination of eng out you've done. I'll give you a hint, the loss of 2 generators has nothing to do with this scenario.Hard to tell given the long distance grainy photo but what is clear the 6 blade Dowty composite prop is unserviceable with only 5 blades...
Its clear the pilots ditched short of a runway... that suggest they
only had 1 good and 3 props out... because if they had 2 good and 2
out they would have exercise C130 2 engine out procedures for a
emergency landing at the nearest runway... I couldn't find any 3
engine out procedures...

I haven’t seen anyone but you talking about damage to #1 while airborne. Can you point me toward any sources?Mercy Bam I'm going to fly a lot farther if the F35 had collided with
just 2 of my props than 3 of my props as suggested in this scenario...
the notion the damage to #1 prop was ground not midair related is on shaky ground...
