P4-KCJ This airplane came very very close to a ditch in sea at the end of last year. The aircraft was returning home after maintenance in Alverca when just after airbourne the pilots noticed that the aircraft was not reponding to the inputs that they were giving. After 3 hours of eratic flying and attempts to ditch the airplane in the ocean the succefuly manage to land safely in Beja, but to the high levels of energy that the aircraft was subjected to, probably it will never fly again.
