Latin Carga Convair CV-880 crash
The Latin Carga Convair CV-880 crash happened on November 3, 1980 at the Simon Bolivar International Airport in Caracas, Venezuela.

Latin Carga was a Venezuelan cargo airline. Most of the airline's aircraft were small turbo-props. However, it obtained two used Convair CV-880 airliners, including the one that crashed in this accident and had begun its commercial airline career flying for Delta Air Lines.

A crew of four took off from Bolivar International Airport on November 3, 1980 on a training flight. Soon after take-off, the plane plummeted, causing the deaths of all 4 occupants.

When it crashed, the aircraft was carrying the guitars of Peter Frampton including his black Les Paul custom which he named "Phenix" (pictured on the cover of Frampton Comes Alive). The guitar was recovered from the crash site by looters and passed through many hands over the years. The guitar was eventually returned to him in December 2011.
