Circumstances:
Following an uneventful flight from Leeward Point Field, Guantánamo Bay, the crew started the descent to Jacksonville-Towers Field NAS by night and stormy weather. The flight crew originally planned to land on runway 28 (9,000 feet long) but later decided to land on runway 10. The airplane touched down 1,600 feet past the runway 10 threshold at a speed of 163 knots and with a 15 knots tailwind. Ground spoilers were deployed three seconds after touchdown while the thrust reversers were not activated as the right reverser was inoperative, in respect to the Minimum Equipment List (MEL). Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran, slightly deviated to the right then rolled in a grassy area and eventually passed over an embankment and came to rest in the St Johns River. All 143 occupants were evacuated, 21 of them with minor injuries.
