The twin engine airplane departed Bogotá-El Dorado Airport on a flight to Caranacoa, carrying one passenger and two pilots. Apparently for illegal reasons, the airplane landed in Venado-Isana where six FARC rebels planed. The aircraft crashed after takeoff in unknown circumstances, killing all nine occupants. The wreckage was found mid March 1986.
