A Lockheed Martin C-130J transport from the Italian air force’s 46th Air Brigade crashed immediately after taking off on a routine training flight from Pisa at around 14:10 local time on 23 November, killing the two pilots and three other personnel onboard.

And let's get one thing straight. There's a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight. — E. B. Jeppesen

The aircraft’s wreckage was spread within an area with a radius of about 150m (490ft).


Sounds like it dove straight into the ground.

I don't know. There is little info, like witness statements available at the moment.
