Air Manila B707 crash short of runway at Manila circa 1979
Around 1979-80 +/- a couple of years, an Air Manila Boeing 707 flying the ILS crashed short of the runway at Manila due possible following a false glide slope signal. I think the 707 had flown from Guam or maybe Taipei? . Not absolutely certain if it was Air Manila.
Could anyone supply more information or link to the accident report published by Philippine CAA? |
Could it be this one? Unfortunately, The Philippine AAIIB online records don't seem to go back that far.

Thanks for the link MC. For some reason the link would not open. Maybe my computer. Could you copy and paste it under Questions forum, please?
