Shortly after takeoff from Nairobi-Wilson Airport runway 14, while climbing, the pilot's window opened. Distracted, the pilot lost control of the airplane that lost height and struck a concrete wall located past the runway end.

All three occupants escaped with minor injuries and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
