The crew departed Salamanca-Matacán AFB at 1140LT on a training flight. The aircraft was supposed to complete a circular flight over Ávila and Béjar then back to Matacán. In unknown circumstances, the twin engine aircraft struck the slope of a mountain located near Pinofranqueado, about 100 km southwest of Salamanca-Matacán AFB. The wreckage was found 11 days later, on March 17, in a canyon at an altitude of 1,200 meters. All five crew members were killed.
