On July 30, 1999, the plane experienced partial power failures during a training mission and after requesting instructions from General Artigas Airbase Air Traffic Control. Subsequently, the manifold pressure dropped significantly, preventing the crew to maintain their assigned flight level, leading them to execute a forced landing in a field. The crew remained uninjured, and the aircraft sustained only minor damage.
