I have read that also waryaa:
6 May 1970
The aircraft was on final approach to Mogadishu International Airport when control was lost due to a fire that erupted in the cargo hold. Upon a nose-down landing, the nosegear collapsed and the airplane continued rolling on her nose until it came to rest. The fire intensified, eventually engulfing the fuselage and destroying it completely.
16 August 1975
Crashed shortly after takeoff from Bosaso Airport, following a failure on the port engine.
20 July 1981
Flight 40 crashed near Balcad and burned out, minutes after take-off from Mogadishu International Airport on a domestic scheduled Mogadishu–Hargeisa passenger service. The aircraft encountered severe turbulence on its flightpath when it entered an area of heavy rain and started to dive. The stresses the airframe went through during the dive —up to 5.76 g— exceeded the ones it could possibly withstand, and parts of the starboard wing got detached.
17 May 1989
Overran the wet runway at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport following an aborted take-off.
28 June 1989
Rebels claimed to have shot down the aircraft, that had departed from Hargeisa International Airport bound for Mogadishu, during initial climbout.
