Safety history

May 6, 2010AccidentHull loss
The crew was engaged in a troop transfer mission between RAF Lyneham and Brize Norton. Following an uneventful flight, the four engine aircraft made a wheels up landing at Brize Norton Airport. It slid on the runway for few dozen metres before coming to rest. All four crew members escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Lockheed C-130 Hercules
It appears that the crew failed to follow the approach checklist and forgot to lower the undercarriage. There was no reaction or any corrective action from the crew when the alarm sounded in the cockpit on approach, informing the crew that the undercarriage was not lowered. No technical anomalies were found on the aircraft or its equipment. Full accident record
