A Buffalo Airways Douglas DC-3, registration C-GWIR performing flight J4-168 from Yellowknife,NT to Hay River,NT (Canada) with 21 passengers and 3 crew, was climbing out of Yellowknife's runway 16 at 17:11L (23:11Z) when the right hand engine caught fire prompting the crew to stop the climb at about 800 feet and attempt a return to Yellowknife's runway 10. The aircraft contacted a number of trees, missed wires and landed very hard and short of the runway before the aircraft came to a stop on its belly. No injuries occurred, the aircraft received substantial damage.

The Canadian TSB have opened an investigation into the accident.

Ground observers reported the aircraft did not extend the gear on final approach and landed on its belly coming to a stop about 100 meters short of the runway in a ditch.

Passengers reported the right hand engine was on fire, the aircraft clipped the tops of a number of trees before the crew was able to steer the aircraft onto an open field for a hard touch down. All occupants are safe.

Shortly after take-off from runway 16 at Yellowknife Intl Airport on a VFR departure, tower personnel spotted sparks and smoke coming from the right piston engine. The pilots shut the engine down and initiated an immediate return to land on runway 10. On final approach, the DC-3 did not lower its main gears and made a belly landing south of runway 10 but within the airport boundary. The aircraft skidded to a stop. The airport fire service was immediately responding. All on board escaped the aircraft without serious injuries. Damage to the DC-3 is believed to be beyond economical repair. ​
