On 14 August 1982, an IAI Arava 201 operated by the Nicaraguan Air Force crashed shortly after takeoff from Augusto C. Sandino International Airport in Managua, Nicaragua. The aircraft went down near the airport and resulted in the deaths of 20 of the 22 people on board.

Among the causualties were former Sandinista guerrilla commander Marcos Somarriba, who served as the Deputy Minister for Development and two Cuban advisers to the National Census Institute.

The accident was at the time the worst Sandinista air force accident.
