The Dutch vegetable import company J.vd Berg signed a contract with the Ethiopian company Maeso Agricultural Estate to import 150 ton's of paprika and green beans. On 13 January 1979 the first Ethiopian flight touched down on Runway 24 but failed to stop before the runway edge, and ended up to 150 meters further in the soft grass and mud. During the night the remaining fuel was drained from the 707 and the 40 ton's of vegetables had to be unloaded by hand due to the soggy ground. The next morning the 707 was light enough to be towed out of the mud. In the evening the 707 was ferried to EDDF.

These two Fokker Friendships, 10148 & 10310, of the Hukbong Himpapawid Ng Pilipinas, had just been ferried from Ypenburg Air Force base after major overhaul, refurbishment and rebuild with Fokker Ypenburg where they had arrived in April and May 1978. After customs clearance at Rotterdam airport they would continue onwards on delivery to the Philippines.

Seems like it was de-iced where it came from. Still some remnants of de-icing fluid on the fuselage.

10148 & 10310 Fokker Friendship, 22950 Beechcraft Huron, and DC-6 TF-IUB captured on a cold day during the harsh winter of 1978 / 1979.
