From Wikipedia

The 1989 Jamba Hercules crash was an air accident involving a CIA Lockheed Hercules L-100 aircraft that crashed on final approach to Jamba, Cuando Cubango, Angola, on 27 November 1989 while secretly delivering weapons and guerrillas to a US-funded insurgency as part of a long-term secret operation to arm UNITA.

The flight originated at Kamina Air Base, Zaire, the hub for the secret CIA supply-line to UNITA, and was attempting a low-level approach at night. The aircraft was owned by CIA front company Tepper Aviation.
