The plane’s trajectory and momentum at landing carried it off the runway and into the surrounding jungle, where damage to the craft occurred. No damage occurred to the runway or operational facilities. Civil Authorities are investigating the incident.

In close coordination with government of Guam Homeland Security/Civil Defense, Naval Base Guam Emergency Operations Center and Joint Region Marianas Regional Operation Center are coordinating notification and further reporting as necessary. (PR)
