What happened
During a mission to deliver supplies from Saigon, an aircraft was performing its landing sequence at An Khe Airport. Upon making contact with the runway, the airplane lost directional control and drifted off the paved surface. The aircraft eventually came to a stop after exiting the runway area.
There were five crew members on board the aircraft at the time of the incident. All personnel remained uninjured following the excursion. However, the impact or the nature of the departure from the runway resulted in the aircraft being written off.
Findings
- The aircraft was operating a resupply flight originating from Saigon.
- The loss of control occurred immediately following touchdown on the runway.
