The plane suffered a landing gear collapse upon landing. Apparently the plane was conducting an unauthorized flight. The pilot and three passengers were not injured.
Flight had a filed ATC flight plan. However, contact was lost with aircraft leaving PAP control. Aircraft never had communication with CUR control nor Aruba approach/tower. All 4 on board were arrested by the local Aruba authorities. This due to suspicion of some illegal activities.
