On June 19th, 2024, an F-16V fighter jet at the Air Force's Fifth Squadron Hualien Base had to make an emergency landing as its landing gear could not retract after a test flight. The landing was safely executed with the use of a catching hook for added security. Another F-16AM aircraft at the same base also experienced landing gear issues during a test flight but managed to land safely following proper protocols. The runway was briefly closed, and both aircraft and personnel are reported safe. Further investigation and maintenance will be carried out to ensure aircraft safety.
