Training

The crew was completing a local training sortie out from NAS Barbers Point. On final approach, the airplane lost height and crashed into the sea about 1,1 mile short of runway. The aircraft was lost and all ten crew members were killed.

Crashed in unknown circumstances somewhere in Russia, killing all three crew members.

On final approach to Ivanovo-Severny Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and the approach speed was too low so the airplane lost height. The pilot-in-command increased power when the airplane struck trees and crashed in a dense wooded area located near the Strokino station, about 5 km short of runway 29. All ten crew members were killed.

Following an uneventful training flight, the DC-7 landed at Miami-Intl Airport, exit via a taxiway and was taxiing to the maintenance hangar when control was lost. It collided with a parked Eastern Airlines Super Constellation registered N6212C. On impact, both aircraft caught fire and the crew was able to evacuate the DC-7 before both aircraft would be destroyed by fire. The exact circumstances and causes of the collision remains unclear.

Shortly after takeoff from Buenos Aires-Aeroparque-Jorge Newbury Airport, while in initial climb, the twin engine aircraft apparently struck power cables and crashed into the Río de la Plata. Both pilots were killed.

Training flight H-3 was scheduled by Capital (Capital Airlines) flight training department for Captain Carl R. Burke, instructor, and two Copilots, Henry A. Podgurski and Robert K. Thomas. This was the second of a series of six flights being made for the purpose of giving Messrs. Podgurski and Thomas flight instruction to prepare them for upgrading from copilot to captain. The flight was dispatched in accordance with visual flight rules to operate in an area northwest, north, and northeast of Washington, D. C. This area was used by Capital as its local practice area for training flights. The aircraft was fully serviced with 820 gallons of fuel. Its gross takeoff weight was less than the max allowable and the center of gravity was within allowable limits. The weather was clear and was not a factor in thin accident. Takeoff was made at 0625. At 0631 the flight advised the company by radio of the trip number, time of takeoff, fuel aboard, and flight duration. There were no other radio contacts with the flight. At approximately 0745, N88835 was observed in the vicinity of Clarksburg, Maryland, by many people who saw it during several tea of flight and in its plunge to the ground.

The aircraft departed Zurich-Kloten at 0857LT on a local training flight, carrying one instructor, five student pilots, two engineers and one technician. The airplane followed different circuits at an altitude between 1,000 and 3,000 meters when control was lost over the Constance Lake. The aircraft went into a spin and crashed into the lake about 4 km off Romanshorn. The wreckage sank by a depth of 200 meters and only few debris were found on water and on the bank between Romanshorn and Arbon. All nine occupants have been killed.

The crew was completing a local training sortie out from NAS Quonset Point. On approach, the airplane crashed into the Narragansett Bay about 500 feet short of runway 19. All six crew members were rescued while the aircraft was destroyed.

The crew was forced to ditch the airplane in the San Francisco bay following an engine failure in flight. There were no casualties but the aircraft sank and was lost. §

At liftoff, the aircraft went out of control and crashed in flames. Six crew members were killed while two others were rescued.
