Re: Stolen C130?
I seem to remember a report possibly the late 1950s of a USAF groundcrewman taking a B-45 Tornado up from a UK base, I can't remember the outcome, can anyone confirm.

Update :- it would appear this happened in June 1958 the airman took-off from Alconbury but was killed when the B-45 crashed near the main London to Edinburgh rail line at Wood Walton. This was Airman 2nd. Class Mechanic Vernon L, Morgan in B-45A-5-NA no.47-046 0f the 86th BS, 47th Bomber Wing crashing 3 minutes after take-off.
