Circumstances:
Shortly after takeoff from Concepción-Mariscal Francisco Solano López Airport, while climbing, the right engine caught fire. The pilot elected to return to the airport but was unable to and eventually decided to attempt an emergency landing. The twin engine airplane belly landed in an open field, slid for few dozen metres before coming to rest. All five occupants escaped with minor injuries and the airplane was damaged beyond repair.
