On August 4, 1994, at 12:20 a.m., a twin-engine Beechcraft BE-70 aircraft took off from Barajas Airport in Madrid, bound for Malaga.<\/p>\n
At 2:17 p.m., communication with the Beechcraft BE-70 was interrupted<\/strong> after its pilot mistook the town of Villanueva del Rosario (M\u00e1laga) for M\u00e1laga Airport and attempted to take off. The 1969 aircraft had civilian registration EC-FLZ and was flying an ambulance service for TASISA, with four people on board: the pilot and three passengers.<\/strong><\/p>\n Unfortunately, the aircraft crashed in the Sierra de los Camarolos mountain range<\/strong> after failing to gain altitude sufficient to clear some cliffs. All occupants died. According to the official accident report (see PDF)<\/a>, there were low clouds at the time of the accident<\/strong>, which may have contributed to the confusion that led to the tragic end of the EC-FLZ.<\/p>\n
