Training

The crew was performing a local training flight from Williams AFB. En route, the heavy bomber collided with a second USAF Boeing B-50 registered 47-101. Following the collision, the crew of 47-101 was able to land safely while 46-049 went into a dive. Four crew members parachuted to safety, one was killed in the parachute attempt and seven were unable to bail out and were killed when the plane crashed in the San Juan Mountains, south-east of Chandler. The exact circumstances of the collision remains unclear.

The crew was completing a training sortie from NAS Norfolk. En route, an engine failed and control was lost. The airplane crashed off Cape Henry, north of Virginia Beach. All seven crew members were killed.

While conducting a training sortie and flying at low height, the twin engine aircraft hit high tension cables and crash landed in a field. Both occupants were unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was completing a training sortie out from Patuxent River NAS. While cruising at an altitude of 10,000 feet, the pilot-in-command started a turn to the left when the tail broke off. The airplane dove into the ground and crashed in a prairie located about three miles north of Centreville and 100 yards from the Chester River. The tail was recovered into the Langford's Bay, about two miles west of the wreckage. All six occupants were killed.

The aircraft, engaged on a copilot's check in instrument flying and one engine flying, took off from Mehrabad Airport at 0909LT with a Captain acting as check pilot, four copilots under test and a flight engineer. Difficulties were met in feathering and unfeathering during the first flight and the aircraft returned to the apron for advice. The aircraft took off again at 1048 LT for further checks. At approximately 1129LT and at 6,700 feet the port propeller was feathered. A few minutes later the port propeller overspeeded when the Captain tried to unfeather it and, despite repeated efforts, the crew did not succeed in unfeathering or refeathering it and it continued to windmill at about 2100 RPM. Height could not be maintained and the aircraft crash landed in open country 1,500 meters short of Runway 11 at Mehrabad Airport. The aircraft was wrecked causing serious injuries to three occupants and minor injuries to the other three.

The crew was engaged in a local training sortie at RAF Abingdon. Shortly after liftoff, while climbing to a height of 300 feet, the aircraft pitched up steeply then stalled and crashed. All six crew members were killed.

The crew was returning to Hradčany AFB following a night bombing exercise. On final, the twin engine aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances few km from the airfield. Two crew members were killed while the third occupant was injured.

The pilot was completing a local training sortie at RAF Dalcross, performing touch and goes. On final, while making a last steep turn to join the approach path, the twin engine aircraft stalled and crashed in a field. The pilot was killed and the aircraft was destroyed.
Crew:
P/O George Nicolson.

The crew was involved in a local training sortie at Fāyid AFB. Shortly after takeoff, while climbing, the pilot informed ground about an engine failure and elected to return for a safe landing when the second engine failed as well. The pilot-in-command reduced his altitude and attempted an emergency landing in a desert area. On touchdown, the airplane lost its undercarriage and came to rest in flames. All three crew members evacuated safely while the aircraft was destroyed by fire.

Shortly after his departure from Andersen AFB, while climbing, the crew informed ground that an engine failed and elected to return for a safe landing. Four minutes later, the heavy bomber crashed in a wooded area located 1,25 mile southwest of the airfield. A crew member was killed while six others were injured, some of them seriously.
