While on a charter in Zaire in 1976, this Hercules arrived at a small airfield at night. It was foggy and the runway lights were off. Without enough fuel to divert, a forced landing in jungle was attempted with disastrous results. This photo is copyright © Tim Martin, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
