Palma de Mallorca

After touchdown at Palma Airport, the twin engine aircraft encountered difficulties to stop. It overran and struck a perimeter wall before coming to rest in an olive plantation. While all 37 occupants were evacuated safely, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The three engine aircraft left Armilla AFB in Grenada at 0730LT bound for Palma de Majorca. Few minutes later, the crew informed ground about an engine failure and elected to return when the airplane went out of control and crashed in a field located in La Peza, about 35 km northeast of Grenada. The aircraft was destroyed and all four crew members were killed.

On final approach to Palma de Mallorca Airport, the airplane suffered an engine failure and crashed. A crew was killed.

The three engine airplane named 'Guadalquivir' crashed upon landing at Palma de Mallorca Airport for unknown reasons and was damaged beyond repair. All nine occupants evacuated safely.

The airplane departed Valladolid-Villanubla Airport on a flight to Palma de Mallorca, carrying five crew members and seven passengers who were supposed to take delivery of several aircraft intended for the 26th Fighting Group of León. While cruising at an altitude of 3,200 metres and at a speed of 220 km/h, the crew realized that big clouds were in formation and attempted to avoid passing through. Nevertheless, the airplane entered a big cloud when control was lost. The airplane entered a dive and reached the speed of 400 km/h when the captain ordered the crew to bail out. Four occupants were able to abandon the airplane that crashed in a huge explosion in Los Porretales, some seven km southeast of Lastras de Cuéllar. Eight other people were killed in the accident.

En route, while cruising south of Majorca Island, an engine failed, forcing the crew to ditch the aircraft. Wind was very strong (force 9) and the sea was rough. After 12 hours, the four occupants were eventually rescued by the crew of the Spanish boat named 'El Biar' while the aircraft sank and was lost.
