This is a very recent terrain-avoidance incident in Afghanistan.

The wings deflected roughly 12 feet! Which explains why the armpit panels blew out.

Elevators, gear doors and external tank damage was from trees...yes, they were THAT close!

C-130's... They are some tough-assed flying dumpsters!

Below is the Polish Air Force C-130 in Afghanistan that executed a 4+ G pullup to avoid terrain and survived to fly back to base. Notice the amount of elevator remaining. How fun was that to limp home?
