Belize

Crashed in the sea off Belize in unknown circumstances. There were no casualties.

The twin engine aircraft was completing an ambulance flight from Chetumal to Belize City, carrying one patient, one accompanist, two doctors and three crew members. As the airplane failed to arrive at Belize City Airport, SAR operations were conducted but eventually suspended few days later as no trace of the aircraft nor the seven occupants was found. It is believed the aircraft has crashed into the sea off the Belize coast.

Shortly after takeoff from David, the airplane went out of control and crashed, bursting into flames. The radio navigator was seriously injured while three others were killed. Few hours later, the only survivor died from his injuries. The aircraft was en route to Belize City with a load of 600 pounds of bandages and medical supplies for the stricken Honduras section.
