unusual facts about Operation Tiger Rescue


Operation Tiger Rescue

Because of disorganization at Sana'a International Airport and delays loading (ground times for some C-130 aircraft exceeded three hours), all four C-130s involved departed Sana'a overloaded with passengers and forced to make an emergency divert to Ta'if Regional Airport, landing dangerously low on fuel (in some cases with less than 20 minutes of flight time remaining) before continuing on to Riyadh Air Base.
