En route, an unexpected situation forced all five crewmen to abandon the aircraft and to bail out. Out of control, the airplane entered a dive and crashed in a prairie located some 24 km northwest of Penonomé. Three crew members were uninjured while two others were killed as their parachute failed to open.
