Narrative:
The Ford was en route Tuxpan to Pachuca with company owner Juan Tilghman Gallo as pilot. It ran into bad weather and descending from 14,000 feet to 9,500 feet over high mountains the right engine stopped followed immediately by the left one. Gallo attempted to stretch the glide to Actopan airfield but instead had to crash-land, sliding along a ridge and ground looping. The aircraft was dismantled and used for spares. Cause was a broken fuel line.
