C-17A Makes Emergency Landing at Long Beach
New C-17A 08-8195 (F-217/P-195) made her first flight today but returned to Long Beach Airport (LGB/KLGB) at 1726 after declaring an emergency due to a fuel leak. Following it's arrival on Rwy 30 the aircraft turned off the Rwy at taxiway "Bravo" and came to a stop at which time the flight crew evacuated the aircraft. Fire crews approached the aircraft to inspect the fuel leak and after determining that there was no chance of fire had the aircraft towed back to the C-17A flight ramp.
