Cargo Plus Aviation

Boeing 707

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Addis Ababa to Lomé, Togo, with an intermediate stop in Entebbe, Uganda, carrying five crew members and a load of 32,8 tons of various goods (T-shirts) on behalf of Ethiopian Airlines. On approach to runway 17 in a 8 km visibility, the captain decided to initiate a go-around procedure. Few minutes later, while on a second attempt to land on runway 35, the crew encountered local patches of fog when, on short final, the aircraft crashed in Lake Victoria. The tail was found about 200 metres offshore while the cockpit was found near the shore. All five occupants were injured.
