By: Roxie Graham-Marski Posted at: 07/03/2012 09:54 AM

DENVER (AP) - The military says six Air Force tankers are
resuming firefighting flights after a deadly crash of one tanker
over the weekend.
   U.S. Northern Command says the flights will resume Tuesday.
The entire fleet of eight planes was grounded after a C-130
crashed Sunday while fighting a wildfire in the Black Hills of
South Dakota.
   The C-130 was from an Air National Guard wing based in
Charlotte, N.C., and was carrying a crew of six. The crash killed
at least two crew members and injured others.
