Japanese submarine hunter slides off runway at Gifu
Sep 7, 2021

According to the Maritime Self-Defense Force, at around 4 pm on the 7th, at the Air Self-Defense Force Gifu Air Base in Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture, the P-1 patrol aircraft slid off the runway and stopped in the grassland beside it.

Sources reported that this aircraft was under maintenance at the Kawasaki Heavy Industries factory adjacent to Gifu Air Base, and details are currently being confirmed.

And again (as before with the South American Dakota), the pictures seem to show that the aircraft is NOT on it's belly. It looks more like the wheels have dug in in the soft ground.

Since its RAT is deployed, I'm tempted to think that it suffered an in-flight power failure.
