On 10 July 2017, a Lockheed KC-130T Hercules aircraft belonging to the United States Marine Corps (USMC) crashed in Leflore County, Mississippi, killing all 16 people on board.[1][2][3] The aircraft had the call sign "Yanky 72" and was from Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 452 (VMGR-452) based at Stewart Air National Guard Base, New York. Debris from the aircraft was found in Leflore County, Mississippi. The USMC released a statement calling the event a "mishap."[4]
The crash is the deadliest Marine Corps disaster since 2005, when a U.S. Marine Corps Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter crashed in Iraq, killing 31 people.[5]
