On 16 June 1987 a Martin 404 cargo aircraft (CP-1570) suffered an engine failure and fire on final approach to Paraparau in Bolivia. The crew could not extend the landing gear, so the aircraft belly landed and slid a few dozen metres before stopping, and all three crew escaped uninjured while the aircraft was written off.
