Training

The aircraft was engaged in a local training mission at Murcia-Alcantarilla, carrying nine paratroopers and two pilots. While cruising in the vicinity of the airbase in a formation of nine Casa 352, the airplane collided in unclear circumstances with a second airplane registered T.2B-229 and also carrying nine paratroopers and two pilots. Following the collision, both aircraft went out of control and dove into the ground. During the descent, eight skydivers on board T.2B-229 were able to bail out before the airplane crashed in a field. All three others occupants as well as all 11 occupants on board the second aircraft were killed.

The airplane was involved in a test flight and the crew was supposed to make stalls at high altitude. While flying at an altitude of 22,000 feet, the airplane attained an extreme angle of attack resulting in a stall. Out of control, it entered a flat spin and two crew members were able to parachute to safety while the third occupant was killed.

A full flap landing was carried out, followed by flap-retraction to practice a no-flap takeoff. The Fairchild veered left upon rotation and cartwheeled off the runway, coming to rest 557 feet left of the runway and 6000 feet from the takeoff end. It appeared that the right inboard and outboard flaps were fully extended; the left inboard flap was extended 17 degrees and the left outboard flap was fully retracted.

The crew was completing a local training mission at Whenuapai Airport. Following several uneventful manoeuvres, the crew completed a new approach for landing when, on short final, the airplane sank and stuck the runway surface at a speed of 140 knots. On impact, the left main gear was sheared off and the airplane went out of control and veered off runway to the left. While contacting soft ground, the left wing was torn off and the aircraft came to rest in flames. All six occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was destroyed.

The crew departed Évreux Airport for a night training flight with two other similar airplane. While cruising at low height, the crew encountered poor weather conditions when the airplane struck power cables and crashed in flames in a field located near the Château de Durcet. The airplane was totally destroyed and all seven crew members were killed.

The crew was completing a local training flight at Clark AFB. On final approach, the Sabreliner collided with a USAF C-47 carrying a crew of five. Both airplane went out of control and crashed 1,5 km east of the airbase. All seven crew members on both aircraft were killed.

The crew departed Dover AFB on a training mission. During flight, the right wingtip detached and separated until the engine number four. Out of control, the airplane dove into the ground and crashed in a wooded area located near Cordova. All six crew members were killed.

The airplane departed Roosevelt Roads NAS (Ceiba) for a night training mission with 14 crew members from the 404th Squadron and 2 scientists on board. While cruising overt the Atlantic, the airplane went out of control and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean some 96 km north of Porto Rico. SAR operations were conducted but eventually suspended few days later as no trace of the aircraft nor the 16 occupants was found.
