9 Dead as Aging Puerto Rico Air National Guard Plane Crashes
------------------------------------------------------------

In Savannah, Georgia, a Puerto Rico Air National Guard military plane
crashed shortly after takeoff Wednesday, killing nine people aboard. The
crash came as the plane was bound for a base in Arizona, where it was
set to be decommissioned. The C-130 was one of the oldest such aircraft
still flying-at more than 60 years old.
