Lost due to an accident in the country of Iraq. With only the left main fuel pumps in the ON position, the aircraft experienced a dual engine flameout when the fuel in that tank was exhausted. The subsequent attempted autorotation was unsuccessful and the aircraft was totally destroyed during the landing sequence, breaking off the rear fuselage. Three crew injured, two unhurt.
Deemed uneconomical to recover and a total loss, 87-00102 was blown up in-place with demolition charges to prevent use of the various parts and pieces by others
