Crashed into Laguna de Tres Palos during a night-time approach to Acapulco Airport. WWII veteran pilot General Radamés Gaxiola Andrade, his copilot and all six passengers were killed.

The aircraft was reported as XB-NEM, a Lockheed twin by contemporary Mexican newspapers. The Lockheed Twins production list by P.J. Marsden does not list this registration. However, a similar registration (XA-NIM) belonged to another Lockheed twin (Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon). This registration was cancelled from the Mexican register in October 1969.
