The aircraft took off from Trelew airport/Almirante Zar Naval Air Station for a training (refresh) flight. While on approach the Queen Air suffered an in-flight fire on its right engine. After the procedures for shutting it down failed, the crew performed an emergency landing at Trelew, veering off the runway; all three creumembers managed to exit the airplane before it exploded.
