Episode Details

In early 2007, Royal Australian Air Force C-130Hs A97-003 and A97-010 were operating as Krait 61 - a formation flight conducting special operations support training during Exercise Red Flag. On the ground at a gravel strip called Keno Landing Zone in the Nellis range near Las Vegas, A97-003 was showered with rocks as A97-010 departed. The ensuing damage was repaired by changing all four engines and propellers along with several windows, both air conditioning packs and the auxiliary power unit. This episode features Matt Nunn - the captain of A97-003 - recounting this incident along with his career in the RAAF.
