Training

Crashed in Taborda, about 5 km south of the Parnamirim AFB, killing all three crew members.

During the takeoff roll, the left main gear collapsed. The airplane went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest. Both crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

A Capital Airlines DC-3 crashed and burned near Martinsburg Airport, Martinsburg, West Virginia, at 1358 on June 4, 1958, injuring the three occupants-an instructor and two pilot-trainees. One trainee, who was flying the aircraft at the time of the accident, died the following day of severe burns. The aircraft was on a training flight from Washington National Airport and was practising takeoffs and landings at Martinsburg Airport. During the pilot's attempt to climb out after abandoning a single-engine approach to runway 8, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a wooded area. A crew member was killed while two other occupants were injured.

For unknown reason, the aircraft landed hard. After it vacated the runway via a taxiway, an undercarriage collapsed. The aircraft came to rest and was damaged beyond repair. Both pilots were uninjured.

The crew was completing a local training sortie at Singapore-Changi Airport. While approaching the airfield with one engine voluntarily inoperative, the aircraft lost height. In a too low altitude, the crew did not have sufficient time to lower the landing gear so the captain attempted an emergency belly landing few km short of runway. The aircraft slid for several yards and came to rest, damaged beyond repair. Both crew members were unhurt.

Following an uneventful training flight, the crew landed at RAF Topcliffe and started the braking procedure when the undercarriage were mistakenly raised by the crew. The aircraft sank on its belly and slid for several yards before coming to rest. All four crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The four engine aircraft left Dover AFB runway 32 at 0828LT on a local training flight. Fifteen minutes later, while cruising at a relative low altitude of 2,000 feet, the airplane went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed in flames in a dense wooded area located near Ellendale. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and all four crew members were killed.

The crew was conducting a local training mission at Warsaw-Okecie Airport. On final approach, the four engine aircraft went out of control, stalled and crashed in a field short of runway. All four crew members were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
