Narrative:
A Cessna U206D Super Skywagon crashed under unknown circumstances during an attempt to land at San Ignacio de Velasco Airport (SNG/SLSI), Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
The pilot was injured and the airplane was destroyed. The aircraft carried 15 packages of cocaine.


The aircraft, registered CP-3101 february 2022, carried the exact same colour scheme as Cessna U206D Super Skywagon ZS-NSV (MSN U206-1302).
CP-3101 however had a different air intake and propeller spinner compared to ZS-NSV on a photo from August 2021. CP-3101 also carried 'Stationair 6 II' titles on the engine cowling.
The inlet cowling was replaced after intalling a new(er) engine, but it is the same airframe (see the old "bulb" under the nose!) and it's 100% Cessna U206D Super Skywagon MSN U206-1302 (they renamed it as a "Stationair 6 II" after the new engine and inlet cowling was installed).
Ex ZS-NSV, Israel Defence Forces: 022.
