On Feb. 24, a U.S. Air Force C-146 Wolfhound struck a concrete road barrier while attempting to take off from a designated alternate landing zone on a bypass road in Laoac, Pangasinan, during contingency training with Philippine counterparts, injuring all five personnel onboard.
This was the first such alternate roadway landing activity in the Philippines, tied to both contingency operations and humanitarian/disaster response scenarios.
