On 15 January 1976, a Taxi Aereo el Venado DC-4 crashed into a mountain 50 km (31 mi; 27 nmi) from Bogota killing all 13 occupants on board the aircraft.[1]
Accident
The aircraft was on a domestic charter flight from Bogota-Eldorado Airport to La Macarena Airport with three crew and ten passengers.[1] The aircraft took-off at 11:37 and the pilot reported his departure and said he would call at the next reporting point over El Boqueron.[2] Nothing else was heard from the aircraft despite attempts by Air Traffic Control to contact them.[2] Three hours later the local authorities in Chipaque reported that an aircraft had hit one of the peaks of the Western Cordilera at a height 3,540 m (11,610 ft), which had been hidden by clouds.[2]
