A disaster , its said the C-130 was operating at 900ft looking for a boat. The helos were in a flight of four.
RIP
What a terrible coincidence that they all happened to converge on the same piece of real estate. What are the chances in this big sky out there that a low flying heavy like that USCG C-130 would come right into their flight.
Communications definitely need to be looked at/improved after this. The Cobra flight should have been notified that the USCG was conducting a low level operation in their sector, and vise versa.
