I nominate Ícaro of Ecuador...

I always wondered how classically trained the owners of Ícaro are... (One of Ecuador's domestic airlines.)

After all, Icarus (Íkaros,) was the one who flew too close to the sun and melted the wax holding his homebuilt wings' feathers together, leading to his ignominious dive and death while his father, Daedalus, successfully escaped the island of Crete.

Maybe hubris was the primary human factor responsible for this Fokker F-28 prang at Coca (OCC) airport?
