Illinois Air Guard Aircrew Lands At KGEG After In-Flight Emergency. Spokane International Airport, Washington.

The aircrew of an Illinois Air National Guard C-130 transport had to declare an in-flight emergency while en-route to Spokane Wednesday afternoon.

The C-130 Hercules was heading to Spokane to deliver communications equipment when its aircrew saw a warning light that forced them to shut down one of the aircraft's four turboprop engines.

The aircraft, assigned to the 182nd Airlift Wing, touched down safely and without incident at Spokane International Airport a short time later.
