31-Jul-2000 - The aircraft was being positioned from Hinckley to Louisburg, NC for maintenance, and diverted initially to Franklin County Airport, and • subsequently to Raleigh-Durham due to weather conditions. It crashed approximately 2 miles from the Raleigh-Durham airport. The single pilot had less than 150hrs on the type, and was not instrument rated. There was 1 fatality and 2 injured.
The wreckage of the aircraft was transported to the Atlanta-Southern Regional Airport, GA at the National Aerotech facility.
Additional Historical Information:
Prior to sale to Air West in 1975 it was reported that XA-BOA had been involved in an accident. There is however no documentation regarding this accident while with Servicios Aereos Especiales S.A. On import documentation the aircraft is described as “damaged and without engines” – the port wing was repaired by Canadian Aircraft Products, and the balance of repairs were completed by Air West.
