- Date: November 26, 1992
- Aircraft: Boeing 707
- Location: Manaus-Eduardo Gomes, Amazonas, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew adopted a wrong takeoff configuration and the climb rate and gradient were too low, so the aircraft struck approach light equipment.
A Boeing 707 cargo flight from Manaus to Miami struck approach light equipment while climbing after takeoff, and the landing gear would not retract. The crew returned to Manaus, where the right main gear collapsed on touchdown and the aircraft came to rest in a ravine. All five occupants escaped uninjured, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
