The Latin Carga Convair CV-880 crash happened on November 3, 1980 at the Simon Bolivar International AirportinCaracas, 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 the serial number 22-00-64) built in 1962 and began its commercial airline career on 15 July 1962, flying for Delta Air Lines as N8816E. Latin Carga purchased the jet on 7 November 1979.[3]
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][4][1]
