Circumstances:
On approach to Talil AFB, the crew was forced to shut down one of the engines due to the failure of the engine control system. As the nose gear could not be lowered, the crew initiated a go-around. As the main gears could not be retracted, the captain decided to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft crash landed in an unpaved area of the airfield and came to rest. All occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
