What happened
During a flight destined for Bogotá, the aircraft experienced a mechanical failure involving one of its engines. This malfunction necessitated an immediate diversion to Madrid Air Force Base (AFB).
As the crew began their descent toward the airfield, the situation escalated, requiring them to execute an emergency landing in a nearby field. The aircraft type impacted the ground a short distance from the airbase. Despite the impact, both members of the crew survived the incident without injuries. However, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
