The aircraft involved is probably C-130H 92-1454 from the 156th AS / NC ANG, operating as "MAFFS-7". It was flying on the White Draw Fire in South Dakota, and according to unconfirmed sources it had a crew of four. At least three crew members survived the initial crash and were rushed to hospital by helicopter, and their current situation is yet unknown.
