  • On May 20, 1989, a US or Peruvian-owned Cessna 208 Caravan (PNP-021) that had left Tingo María on a DEA coca eradication mission taking place in the context of Operation Snowcap,[8] crashed into Mount Huacranacro, 100 km (62.5 mls) east of Huaral. The 9 individuals on board (six American and three Peruvians) were killed.[9][10] The plane may have suffered an engine failure.[11]
