Details are limited, but it would seem the aircraft landed safely and limited damage reported. The airport was closed while the C-130 is removed. Flights to the airport were diverted while the incident was handled.
The C-130 Hercules has been the PAF's primary tactical transport aircraft since its induction in the early 1960s. Currently around 5 C-130B and 11 C-130E models are in service, upgraded with Allison T56-A-15 turboprops and extended fatigue lives by Lockheed-Georgia Company.
