On 3 November 1980, a Latin Carga Convair 880 crashed in Caracas, Venezuela. [2]
Latin Carga was a Venezuelan cargo airline. Most of the airline's aircraft were small turbo-props, but it later obtained two used jet airliners. [2]
The aircraft involved was a Convair CV-880F, (registered as YV-145C, with serial number 22-00-64) built in 1962. [2]
Four crew members took off from Simón Bolivar International Airport on November 3, 1980, on a training flight to Panama. Soon after take-off, the plane plummeted and crashed at the end of the runway, bursting into flames and causing the deaths of all 4 occupants. The aircraft also transported all the equipment and gear of English musician and songwriter Peter Frampton, who was touring in Latin America at the time. [2] [3] [1]
