Crashed on landing at Barranquilla-Soledad Airport. Both crew members were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The float plane named 'Alfonso Lopez' crashed in unknown circumstances in the Magdalena River, in Barranquilla. The copilot and one female passenger were killed.

35 minutes after his departure from Barranquilla, the crew encountered technical problems and decided to return. On final approach, at a height of 100 meters, the aircraft stalled and crashed. Three occupants were seriously injured while two others were killed: the pilot Hans Krüger and the passenger Otto Furhop. The aircraft was named 'Cauca'.

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.
