Title: C-123K Crashed today :(
Post by: flight17 on August 03, 2010, 12:56:35 AM

Sadly, the C-123K "Large Marge" N709RR crashed today in Denali National Park in Alaska. Everyone has seen this provider fly as "JailBird" in the movie Con Air. It flew all of the inflight scenes while it had two other C-123's perform all of the non flying and crashing scenes.

This hits close to home as i see a C-123K every day... Also our museum president goes to Alaska every year to fly the C-123K's up there. Im not sure if he flew this one or not. its really a beautiful plane though.

It has been confirmed that three crew members were on board and perished in the crash. RIP  :salute

i went to the airport today and indeed it was one of the planes that our President flew. He also trained both pilots that were flying the plane :(
