What happened
During an arrival at El Palomar Air Base, located near Buenos Aires, an aircraft experienced a significant mechanical failure. The flight was carrying a total of nine people, consisting of six passengers and three crew members. Among the passengers was the Chief of the Argentinian Army, who was traveling back to the base following a troop review in the Pampa Province.
As the aircraft touched down, the left main landing gear collapsed. This failure caused the aircraft to slide along the runway before veering toward the right side of the path. The movement eventually brought the plane to a stop in a nearby grassy area.
Results
Despite the severity of the impact and the subsequent slide, there were no injuries reported among the 9 occupants. However, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, as it was determined to be beyond repair.
