The pilot Henke was performing a cargo flight from Bogotá to Útica. En route, an engine failure forced the pilot to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft eventually crashed, killing the pilot.

The airplane named 'Medellín' crashed in unknown circumstances in La Mesa, some 50 km west of Bogotá, while performing a cargo flight from Girardot. The passenger and the pilot Günther Klotz were killed.

Shortly after takeoff, the pilot initiated some manoeuvre at low height, most probably to demonstrate the capabilities and efficiency of the aircraft. Unfortunately, the engine suffered problems and the aircraft stalled before crashing onto houses. While all six occupants were killed, nobody on the ground was hurt. Names 'Tolima', the aircraft was totally destroyed. The crew was performing a promotional tour in South America and departed Barranquilla on a flight to Bogotá.
