G'day KV
I'd say your on the money re freight shift aft.
I know transport aircraft usually haul arse out of these bases to get altitude and out of range from insurgent ground attack.
Wonder if the cargo attach points are up to handling regular max rate climbs after takeoff? Ie attach point fatigue induced by flight profile/ attitude?
Or they just didn't secure the load properly?
Nasty stuff!
Cheers
