What happened
During a flight originating in Korea and bound for Iwakuni Air Force Base, the crew encountered a critical shortage of fuel while traversing the Miho region. As the aircraft's fuel supply was depleted, the crew was compelled to execute an emergency landing procedure.
The aircraft subsequently crash-landed on a beach. While the impact resulted in the airframe being damaged beyond repair, all three crew members were successfully rescued from the site without reported fatalities.
Findings
- The primary factor leading to the incident was fuel exhaustion during the transit from Korea.
