- Location: Luanda-4 de Fevereiro, Luanda, Angola

A Lockheed C-130A operated by Angola Air Charter on a cargo flight from Luanda to Cafunfo stalled shortly after takeoff from Luanda-4 de Fevereiro, at about 50 to 60 m. It struck the ground beside the runway and broke apart in a fire. All ten occupants died. The investigation was hampered because the wreckage was moved without civil aviation authorization and neither flight recorder was found.
