Pictures of KC-130 show it's basically intact, but all propeller blades are missing from engines 3 and 4 (right wing), and at least one propeller blade is missing from engine 1 (outboard left wing). I wonder how many of those blades went AWOL as part of the mid-air, and how many from landing in the dirt? Yikes again.
The C130 is a tough old bird. This reminds me of an incident that took place during my 1985 tour in the Falkland Islands where a Sea King and C130 Collided on poor vis. While everyone on the C130 returned safe the chopper and all four onboard were lost in the South Atlantic
