Curtiss C-46F Commando (CW-20B-4)

Off-Airport - Laguna Brava

LV-HIJ (cn 22346) On April 30th 1964, this Curtiss Commando was cruising at 18000 feet from Copiapo (Chile) to Cordoba (Argentina), carrying 8 race horses from Lima (Peru) and 6 people (4 crew members). A sudden malfunction in an engine forced the crew to try an emergency landing on the half dried lake "Laguna Brava", at 4271 meters. All were rescued 2 days later, except the horses, and the plane which is in good condition but scrapped due to the difficulty and risk of repairing it there. Help with the editing from Gary W

J-068 (cn 6E-37) Incredible moment at Volkel AB today when the J-068 crashed right in front of me. Fortunately, the pilots ejected safely. The F-16 crashed into a shelter.
