Cessna 206 PK-MCZ
PK-MCZ crashed on July 26, 1996 due to oil starvation in the Papua province of Indonesia. A piece of carbon that had accumulated in the turbo broke off and clogged the outlet forcing the oil overboard past the bearings. It landed in a shallow river, breaking the nose gear off in the process. It sat in the river right side up, with the nose cowl resting on the river bottom and the main gear intact. The water came up to below the instrument panel. The radios were still functional allowing the pilot to relay his uninjured condition and location. The airplane was recovered and certainly repairable but was never rebuilt. Most of the damage was in the nose area. Over the years it was cannibalized for parts. What you got came back to the US in a container of the last 206 stuff from that program. It did have a tailcone on it which we cannibalized. Total time 10,850."
