Training

While performing a training sortie from Belgrade, the aircraft suffered a double engine failure. The crew reduced his altitude and completed a safe belly landing in a field located less than 2 km south from Šabac. While the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, all three crew members were unhurt.

The crew was performing a local training mission consisting of approaches, landings and touch and goes. On final approach, during the last segment, the aircraft was in an excessive rate of descent and hit violently the runway surface. All undercarriage and both wings were sheared off and the aircraft came to rest. All four crew members who were carrying a check flight were injured. The aircraft was written off.

After touchdown, the crew started to brake but the aircraft failed to stop, overran, lost its undercarriage and skidded for 100 yards before coming to rest in a ditch. All five crew members from the 51st Squadron were slightly injured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While flying in the vicinity of the Patuxent River NAS during a local training sortie, the pilot was forced to attempt an emergency landing for unknown reason. The aircraft crashed and all four crew members were killed.

The crew was performing a training mission. While completing an umpteenth approach, the aircraft banked left, dove into the ground and crashed in a huge explosion on a road leading to the airport.
