Overview

  • The C-130H (tail number TC-66) turned back about five hours after departing El Palomar for Aalborg, Denmark, with a planned stop in Natal, Brazil.
  • Flight-tracking data recorded a sharp descent from roughly 21,000 to 14,000 feet before the aircraft stabilized and headed back to base.
  • Images and video from social media showed the No. 1 engine stopped and set to feather during the return leg.
  • The Air Force said the crew executed procedures correctly and landed at El Palomar at about 14:35 with no injuries reported.
  • The aircraft remains under technical inspection and officials have not provided details on the fault, repairs, or a revised schedule for the mission.
