History
At 1125 hours, this aircraft was seen through the smoke and fire near Kavieng, pulling up abruptly to 150 feet, the belly streaming fire. Both main landing gears sagged down as a result of hydraulic pressure loss, and then the aircraft crashed into Chinatown area of Kavieng township. No wreckage of aircraft survives.
