I just contacted the 302nd Airlift Wing and verified that Hoser was NOT aboard the aircraft that crashed.

Hoser did fly last night and is currently on crew rest.

Thank God!

Prayers and thoughts go out to those who were involved.

Great news. Prayers out to the crew

Very glad Hoser is alright...

And I may have missed it but what is the status of the crashed crew?

[Ridge]

How many on a crew when it is configured for firefighting?

Typically 3 onboard, I think.

[DD977GM2]

Hope all the crew suffered was a few minor bruises.

I thought a C130 crew for firefighting was closer to five or six.

FALL RIVER COUNTY, SD - The Fall River Sheriff's office says three people were taken to the hospital when a U.S. Air Force tanker aircraft crashed while fighting the White Draw Fire.
It happened around 6 p.m. MDT.
The cause of the crash is unknown and under investigation.
The C-130 aircraft is a Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System which the U.S. Forest Service uses to fight fires from the air. It can discharge 3,000 gallons of water or fire retardant in less than five seconds and cover about 25 square miles at a time.
