The Marine Corps has grounded its fleet of KC-130Ts “out of an abundance of caution” following the events of the deadly crash earlier this month, the service has confirmed to Defense News. The grounding affects 12 aircraft total, all operated by Marine Forces Reserve, said spokeswoman Lt. Stephanie Leguizamon.

USMC KC-130J models, as well as all other Navy and Air Force C-130 versions are not affected by this halt in flight operations. The Marines did not comment on the reason for the grounding or if it was related to findings from the investigation of the crash earlier this month.

The Blue Angels C130 is affected by this grounding as well. Not sure what will be replacing it. Show at Oshkosh will continue as planned

not new, and I thought someone already shared this link.
You can see that a large portion of the stabilizer was broken off and separated from the plane, not sure if that happened before or after the crash.
