The CNAC Douglas C 53 Skytrooper ran into heavy icing and snow shortly after leaving Dinjan on a cargo flight to Kunming. The aircraft kept losing altitude, and a sharp right turn did not clear a mountain peak, so it stalled and crashed in the Naga Hills. The radio operator died and both pilots survived and walked out.
