Ex 11-27242 arrived in the port of Santa Marta on delivery on 4 March 2013. This helicopter crashed on 4 August 2015, sixteen on board the Black Hawk were killed, and two seriously injured, when it crashed in the volatile north-west part of the country, in a densely jungled area near the Gulf of Urabá, near Carepa. The helicopter was part of a mission to locate Dairo Otoniel Usaga, leader of the country's most-violent drug-smuggling gang.
