Training

The crew was performing a night training flight from Ukurey. One hour and 57 minutes into the flight, both engines number 1 and 2 flamed out. The crew decided to divert to Chita but 16 minutes later, both engines number 3 and 4 flamed out as well. All 7 crew members bailed out and the aircraft crashed in a field near Chita. Six crew members were rescued while the commander, Captain Valeri Dotsenko was killed as he bailed out too late.

The twin engine airplane was engaged in a joint exercise with the US Navy over the Japan Sea when it crashed in unknown circumstances. All four crew members were killed.

While completing a local training mission at Corpus Christi-Cabaniss Field, the twin engine airplane collided with a second USN Beechcraft T-44A Pegasus. Registered 160967, it was also completing a local training flight. It is believed that all occupants on board 161067 survived while all six occupants on board 160967 were killed.

While performing a training mission over the Azov Sea, the fire alarm sounded in the cockpit after a hotline located near the right engine broke off, causing hot air to spread in the right wing. In a hurry, the crew mistakenly shut down both engines. The aircraft lost speed and height then crashed into the Sea about 12 km off Obitochnaya. Two crew members were rescued while two others were killed.

The crew as completing a local training flight at Amberley Airport. On final approach, the instructor simulated a left engine failure. The airplane lost height on short final, went into a nose-down attitude and landed hard. The nose gear collapsed and the left engine partially detached. The airplane veered off runway and came to rest. While all three crew members escaped uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

After a local maintenance flight the crew returned to St. Petersburg to practice full stop landings. Shortly after becoming airborne during the second takeoff, the right engine experienced a power loss. The aircraft was observed to climb to about 50 feet agl, then veer right and crash east of the runway. Other than a malfunctioning right fuel tank selector which allowed fuel to bypass to other fuel tanks, there was no pre-impact failure/malfunction. Both right tanks were empty and the left tanks contained about 175 gallons of fuel. However, subsequent tests showed that fluid in the right tank would bypass the right fuel selector and leak into the left tank when the aircraft sat left wing low for about 12 hours. The aircraft was not airworthy in that all the requirements of an approved 91.217 inspection program were not complied with. The pilot-in-command had 5 hours as pic of DC-3 during the last 5 months with one hour and two takeoff and landings the last 90 days. This was the first flight in a DC-3 for the copilot with no record of any training in the DC-3.

The crew departed Little Rock-Jacksonville AFB for a local training mission. En route, the crew reduced his altitude from 3,000 to 2,000 feet to join four other aircraft in formation when control was lost. The airplane dove into the ground and crashed in a wooded area located near Judsonia. The aircraft was destroyed and all seven crew members were killed.

The crew was completing a local training mission at Petrovsk Airport. On final approach, the instructor simulated the failure of the left engine. Following several crew errors, the airplane lost speed and height, descended below the glide and crashed upside down near the runway threshold, caught fire and burnt out. All 5 crew members were killed.

Operated by Air Service Hungary (Repülögépes Szolgalat Allami Vallat), the aircraft was completing a special flight from Budaörs to Dunakeszi, carrying two pilots and seven passengers on behalf of the Hungarian Aerobatic Club (Magyar Honvédelmi Szövetség – MHSZ). While flying in limited visibility due to marginal weather conditions, the single engine airplane struck the slope of a mountain located in Hármashatárhegy, in the north suburb of Budapest. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all nine occupants were killed.
