Rockwell Aero Commander 500

While in cruising altitude over North Florida, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions. The airplane went through a large area of adverse weather with thunderstorm activity when control was lost. The aircraft dove into the ground and crashed in a field. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.

En route from Tehran to Tabriz, the crew encountered unknown technical problems and decided to reduce his altitude and to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft belly landed in a desert area located about 27 km northwest from Mianeh (120 km southeast from Tabriz) and slid for several yards before coming to rest in flames. Both occupants escaped while the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.

The airplane departed Dubois, Pennsylvania, on a private flight to Roanoke, Virginia. En route, one of the engine failed and the pilot reduced his altitude and attempted an emergency landing in Mahaffey when the airplane went out of control and crashed in an open field. Both occupants, the racer Curtis Turner aged 46 and the passenger, the golfer Clarence King, were killed.

During the takeoff roll at Clanton-Ware Island Airport, the right main gear collapsed. The pilot retracted the gear to maintain directional control and the airplane came to rest in flames. The pilot was uninjured while the aircraft was written off.

The crew was taking part to an international rallye between UK and Sydney, in Australia. The aircraft departed London on 19 of December and the contact was already lost with ATC when the aircraft was flying over the Alps. As the airplane failed to arrive at the next stopover, SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended few weeks later as no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. On 5 August 1970, walkers found the wreckage on the slope of a mountain located near the Rocher de la Plassa, about 6 km southeast of Courchevel. Both occupants have been killed.

While taking off from Ione Airfield, the twin engine aircraft encountered difficulties. The pilot failed to abort the takeoff and the rotation was completed too late. The airplane struck a dirt bank then crashed at the end of the runway. The pilot was killed while three passengers were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

During the takeoff roll at Glendive-Dawson County Airport, the pilot encountered engine trouble and decided to abandon the takeoff procedure and attempted an emergency braking manoeuvre. On a runway covered with two inches of snow, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance, overran and came to rest down a bank. Six occupants were injured and a passenger was killed.

While on a night mail flight, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions when both engines stopped simultaneously. The pilot attempted an emergency landing when control was lost and the airplane crashed on a 40° slope mountain. SAR operations were conducted but eventually suspended few days later as no trace of the aircraft nor the pilot was found. Mountaineers found the wreckage on March 21, 1969 near Imnaha.

On final approach to Paducah-Barkley Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with low ceiling, rain and fog. Too low, the twin engine airplane struck trees and crashed few dozen yards short of runway threshold. Both pilots were slightly injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Few minutes after takeoff, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions. Two other aircraft return to their base while the pilot of N6248B decided to continue. While cruising at low height in fog, the airplane struck a radio antenna (406 feet high) and crashed in an open field. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot, sole on board, was killed.
