Approaching Cần Thơ Airport from the north, the pilot of the Porter requested permission to land and was on VHF frequency. At the same time, a crew of two on board a Bell AH-1G Cobra registered 67-15676 was given permission to takeoff. While climbing, the helicopter struck the Porter, causing both airplanes to crash. All eight occupants were killed.
