130F was not due to speed on an approach. The pilot stated that when he flared the aircraft it rolled and one of the tip tanks struck the ground. Per the pilot, there was an a/c doing a static runup when he landed which was the cause. Now no-one really knows what happened, except for him, but the a/c before him and right after him had no effect upon landing from a static runup.
The KC a/c i cannot comment upon. We have heard the "story" but we do not mention it. Speed may have been a factor, but that excess speed was apparent during the entire approach and our ops specs were not followed. There were a few other factors which contributed. So maybe you got me once, but not twice. I will ask around tonight and find out more about the KC incident.
