Cessna 414 Chancellor

The pilot initiated the takeoff from a snow covered runway at Aspen-Pitkin County-Sardy Field and with an aircraft covered with ice and snow on wings. At liftoff, the twin engine airplane struck a fence located past the runway end and despite the situation, the pilot continued departure. Few minutes later, at an altitude of 11,800 feet, the pilot encountered downdrafts/updrafts and lost control of the airplane that crashed in a canyon located few miles from the airport. The wreckage was found two days later. A passenger was killed while six other occupants were seriously injured.

The crew was approaching Nuremberg Airport when he encountered poor visibility due to heavy snow showers. The crew failed to realize his altitude was too low when the twin engine airplane struck power cables and crashed in flames in a field located in Raitersach, about 21 km southwest of Nuremberg Airport. The aircraft was destroyed and all six occupants were killed.

While in cruising altitude, the twin engine airplane entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in flames near Farson. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.

The twin engine airplane departed Fort Lauderdale bound for Tallahassee with three passengers and a pilot on board. While cruising at an altitude of 12,500 feet in good weather conditions, the airplane collided with a USAF Douglas F-4E Phantom II registered 67-0255. Engaged in a routine exercise with two other F-4, the fighter departed Homestead AFB with two pilots on board under call sign 'Reed 11' and was descending to enter a restricted area for low-level gunnery practice. Both planes collided outside the boundaries of restricted airspace. The Cessna dove into the ground and crashed in the Brighton Indian Reserve, killing all four occupants. A pilot onboard the F-4E was killed while the second pilot ejected successfully and was injured. Both aircraft were destroyed upon impact.

While cruising at an altitude of 19,000 feet in marginal weather conditions, the pilot lost control of the airplane that crashed in a wooded area located about nine miles northwest of Chester, California. The wreckage was found few hours later. The aircraft was destroyed and all eight occupants were killed.

While approaching Pine Bluff-Grider Field by night, the crew encountered poor visibility due to fog and low clouds. Decision was taken to initiate a go-around. Few minutes later, while on a second approach, the twin engine airplane descended too low, struck trees and crashed in flames in a wooded area located few miles from the airport. The aircraft was destroyed and all four occupants were killed.

After takeoff from Jackson-Reynolds Field, the twin engine airplane encountered difficulties to gain height. It stalled then crashed near the runway end. The pilot was injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

En route from Wichita to Alexandria, Minnesota, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions. While in cruising altitude in dense clouds, he lost control of the airplane that entered a dive and crashed in an open field. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot, sole on board, was killed.

While descending to Cordova Airport, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions when the twin engine airplane struck the slope of a mountain shrouded in clouds and located few miles from the airfield. The aircraft was destroyed and all four occupants were killed.

After passengers deplaned at Mexico Airport, Missouri, the pilot was returning to his base at Lebanon-Floyd W. Jones Airport. On approach, the pilot initiated acrobatics maneuvers when he lost control of the airplane that crashed in a field. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact and the pilot, sole on board, was killed.
