DC-8 lands at Marble Mountain.
During the Vietnam war (1969) a Seaboard World Airways DC-8 landed by mistake, at night, on Marble Mountain runway which was only 3300 feet (1000 meters). The airplane was loaded with 219 troops and gear on the landing after a long flight from Hawaii.
When Seaboard World Flight Operations got the word on what happened, they contacted Douglas Aircraft for advice...Douglas said "take it apart and ship it home". After fuel and passengers were offloaded, the plane was towed to the north overrun and departed five hours after the landing incident. Used 2800 feet (853 meters) for take-off.
