On 2 July, a Transair Boeing 737-200 freighter (registered N810TA) operated flight T4810 between Honolulu Airport and Kahului, Hawaii, United States. A few minutes after take-off, the aircraft returned to Honolulu Airport. But ditched about two miles off the coast of Kalaeloa Airport. 

According to social media, the two pilots experienced problems with both engines, leaving the aircraft without engine power. The crew experienced difficultes maintaining altitude while returning to Honolulu.

The United States coast guard and the Honolulu fire department rescued the two pilots.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
