The Boeing 707 made an emergency landing at Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport at Aceh, Indonesia last Friday. The plane was on its way to Kadena Air Force Base in Japan from Diego Garcia, Chagos Islands, in the Indian Ocean, when the incident occurred. The Plane was flying at FL250 when the crew reported failure on one of it’s engines. From 20 personnels, Some of them were not allowed to leave SIM Airport as they don’t have passports. The aircraft, with “United States Air Force” written on its body, is still parked on the apron of the Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport waiting for repairs from U.S Authorities
