Lockheed C-130 crash sites

The C-130 Hercules is generally a highly reliable aircraft.
The Royal Air Force (RAF) recorded an accident rate of about one aircraft loss per 250,000 flying hours over the last forty years, making it one of the safest aircraft they operate (alongside Vickers VC10s and Lockheed Tristars with no flying losses).

However, more than 15 percent of the approximately 2,350 production hulls have been lost, including 70 by the United States Air Force (USAF) and the United States Marine Corps (USMC) during the conflict in Southeast Asia.
As of November 14, 2007, this is thought to be a complete listing through August 2007, but omits the JC-130A tested to destruction (53-3130, c.n. 3002), and airframes retired or withdrawn from service in the course of useful operational lives. By the nature of the Hercules' worldwide service, the pattern of losses provides an interesting barometer of the global hotspots over the past fifty years.
