Training

The crew (an instructor and a student pilot) departed Richmond, Virginia, on a training flight to Petersburg, Virginia. After several touch-and-go maneuvers, the twin engine airplane was landing when on touchdown, it struck the runway surface and the pilot elected to make a go-around. Out of control, the airplane veered off runway and came to rest in flames. The aircraft was destroyed and both occupants were killed.

The crew was completing a local training flight at Wright-Patterson AFB. On final approach, the airplane went out of control and crashed in a field. All seven crew members were rescued while the aircraft was destroyed.

The crew departed Andersen AFB on a night training flight. While approaching Agana-Antonio Borja Won Pat Airport, the instructor shut down both engines n°3 & 4 and continued the approach when the airplane lost height and landed hard on runway. On impact, all tires on the right main gear burst. Out of control, the airplane veered off runway to the right, went through the apron, collided with a parked fighter then came to rest in flames against an embankment. The aircraft was destroyed and all six crew members were killed.

The crew departed Bankstown on a local training flight. While circling near the airport, the Dove collided with a private Piper PA-30-160B Twin Comanche registered VH-WWB that was approaching Bankstown Airport on a flight from Sydney with also two people on board. Following the collision, both aircraft dove into the ground and crashed in a residential area located about 3 NM from the airfield. Both aircraft were destroyed and all four occupants were killed. Fortunately, there were no casualties on the ground. It is believed that the crew of the Dove encountered radio problems before the accident.

The crew (four pilots) departed San Diego Airport on a training mission. En route, the crew simulated stall conditions when both engines failed to respond. Shortly later, both engines caught fire and the crew decided to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft belly landed about 8,8 miles east of Borrego Springs and came to rest in flames in a desert area. While all four crew members escaped uninjured, the aircraft was destroyed.

Just after liftoff at Beale AFB, while initial climb, the airplane went out of control and crashed inverted in a huge explosion. A crew member was seriously injured while all others were killed. Few days later, the only survivor died from his injuries. The airplane was engaged in a night training flight when the accident occurred.

The crew (three pilots under supervision and two instructors) departed Bogotá-El Dorado Airport in the early morning on a training flight to Flandes, Tolima. Several touch and go maneuvers were completed at Flandes Airport and during the last takeoff, the undercarriage failed to retract after the hydraulic system failed. On approach to Bogotá-El Dorado, the crew was unable to lower the flaps thus a flapless landing was completed on runway 12. After touchdown, the airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance, overran and came to rest in a drainage ditch. All five occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
