A Mitsubishi MU-2 ferry flight left Uchiza and reported engine trouble. A fire developed on the left engine after takeoff, and the pilot tried to return as weather at the airport deteriorated. He then force-landed beside the Huallaga River, where the aircraft slid and came to rest inverted. Both occupants escaped uninjured.
