On May 10, 2009, at 05:30 UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) (=08:30 local time), a Piper PA-30, N502TC, was destroyed when it impacted mountainous terrain about 26 nautical miles northwest of Port Sudan, Sudan. The two Yemeni pilots on board were fatally injured. The airplane was operating on an international ferry/positioning/delivery flight plan between Luxor International Airport (HELX), Luxor, Egypt, and Port Sudan New International Airport (HSPN), Port Sudan, Sudan, under Sudanese flight regulations.
The intended destination was Mukalla-Al-Rayyan Int'l Airport (MKX) in Hadramout, Yemen. An official Yemeni press release (see link #3) named the two fatalities as "Captain Abdullah Ali al-Na'ami and his assistant Abdul-Hafedh Saleh al-Sabahi".
Registration N502TC cancelled by the FAA on January 20, 2010. Note that whilst N502TC was on delivery to the Aviation Academy in Mukalla, it was still (at the time of the accident) officially registered to "Southern Aircraft Consultancy Trustee Inc" according to FAA records
