From the Wikipedia article
Philippine Airlines Flight 206 was the route designator of a domestic flight from Manila Domestic Airport, Metro Manila, Philippines, to Loakan Airport, Baguio. On June 26, 1987, the Hawker Siddeley HS 748 crashed onto a mountain en route to Baguio, killing all 50 people on board.
Accident
On the morning of June 26, 1987, Flight 206 departed the Manila Domestic Airport for Loakan Airport in Baguio, around 250 km north of Manila. It was scheduled to arrive at 11:10:00 Philippine Standard Time in Baguio, a city with an altitude of about 1500 m. As the plane approached Baguio City, its pilot reported poor visibility. A monsoon was also reported in the area. Flight 206 disappeared from the radar screens around ten minutes before it was scheduled to land.
The wreckage of the plane was discovered five hours after it had gone missing. Flight 206 had crashed onto the fog-shrouded slopes of Mount Ugu, a 2,086 m mountain located between Itogon, Benguet and Kayapa, Nueva Vizcaya. The crash site was located around 180 meters below the summit of Mount Ugu, and 15 kilometers south of Loakan Airport.
