A Wimbi Dira Airways DC-3 landed at Kalima-Kakungwa, bounced several times and went out of control. It veered off the runway and came to rest in a grassy area. There were no injuries but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. One database entry describes a ground loop with gear and engine separation, but it is rated low confidence.
