On October 18, 2015 at 2119 UTC, a Beechcraft B60, Colombian registration HK3917G, registered to and operated by Sky Hub Aviation, was destroyed during a collision with a building in Barrio El Lujan, Bogota, Colombia. The pilot, three passengers, and six people in the building were fatally injured. Eight people in the building received serious injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The airplane departed Eldorado Airport (SKBO) at 2117 UTC, destined for Guaymaral Airport (SKGY) located about 8 miles northeast of SKBO. Immediately after takeoff the airplane leveled at an altitude of about 300 feet above ground level, and continued straight ahead. About 1 mile beyond the departure end of the runway, the airplane turned sharply to the left, descended, and impacted a 3-story building. According to preliminary information from the Government of Colombia, the left engine experienced a loss of power prior to impact. The investigation is under the jurisdiction of the Government of Colombia.
