Custom Airplane Engine

Customs at small airports?
When traveling internationally via a small, single-engine airplane, are Customs officers normally stationed at small, municipal airports? For safety reasons, most have police present, but will they know that you have just come from another country? Would one have to go through passport inspection at one of these small airports?
...or can you just come and go as you please, as long as you don't look suspicious and try to pay for your fuel with cash?
If the airport knows that the inbound flight has international passengers , there should be a customs agent meeting the flight to verify documentation , if there isn't one on site - a customs officer will be called in to meet the flight. Otherwise , one must present themselves to the nearest Customs office for inspection and docs check.

Doggzilla did a great job explaining why certain aircraft shouldn't be turned in the direction of a dead engine.
Here is a photo of a Caribou:
Here is a photo of a C-130 with the #3 propeller feathered:
I agree that the aircraft was more than likely damaged by enemy fire based on the report.
Here's what they look like.
The number one engine is the farthest one on the left wing as you sit in the cockpit looking forward. That one was disabled by enemy fire. Feathering is setting your propeller blades straight into the wind to reduce drag. So, when the pilot turned into the feather engine, he turned left. He was already going very slow and the left turn slowed the airflow over that wing to the point where it simply stopped flying. It dropped which rolled the plane over (inverted). He was too low to the ground to recover controlled flight and crashed.
It was not a WII aircraft. In fact it was only two years old at the time of the crash on 12 MAY 1964.
