Training

The crew was completing a local training at RAF Manby, Lincolnshire. On final approach with an engine voluntarily inoperative, the crew decided to make a go around when the airplane stalled and crashed in a field located 2,2 km east of Louth, short of the airbase. All three crew members were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was completing a local training flight at Rio de Janeiro-Galeão Airport. On final approach, the instructor voluntarily shut down the engine number four to simulate a failure. Simultaneously, the pilot under training lost control of the airplane that stalled and struck the runway surface. After impact, the airplane veered off runway and came to rest. While all four crew members were evacuated safely, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Shortly after takeoff from Oita-Iki Airport, while in initial climb at a height of 150 feet, the airplane stalled and crashed. All six occupants were evacuated while the aircraft was destroyed. It appears the takeoff was attempted with one engine voluntarily inoperative. The crew apparently underestimated the aircraft performances and was overconfident.

The crew was engaged in a local training flight in the region of Belgrade. While approaching Belgrade-Surcin Airport, the airplane went out of control and crashed near the Save River, some 4 km short of runway 30 threshold. All five crew members were killed.

Shortly after take off from Goretskoye Airport in poor visibility, while at a height of 100-120 meters, the pilot made a first turn to the right then turned to the left five seconds later. Suddenly, the single engine airplane lost height, plunged into the earth and crashed in flames in a snow covered field located 2,100 metres from the airfield. The airplane was destroyed by a post crash fire and all eight occupants, one instructor and 7 cadets, were killed. Probably the pilot had taken off with caged gyro horizon and he lost spatial orientation in whiteout conditions.

The pilot, sole on board, was completing a local training flight at Freeport Airport. On final approach, he decided to make a go around when one of the engine failed. The airplane lost speed, stalled and crashed in flames short of runway threshold. The pilot was killed. The airplane was owned by Harold L. Knowles.

The crew was completing a local training flight at Detroit-Willow Run (Ypsilanti) Airport. On final approach to runway 05R, the instructor decided to make a go around. The crew increased engine power, raised the landing gear and deployed the flaps when the airplane stalled and crashed in a field and burst into flames. Both pilots were killed.

The aircraft departed Loring AFB at 0900LT for a six hour training mission. Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the airplane suffered severe turbulences and the number three engine drag brace failed due to a missing nut. The engine swung up in front of the wing, causing a severe roll to the left. The aggressive control inputs in an attempt to level the aircraft resulted in both the #3 and #4 engines separating from the wing. The aircraft then entered a 90° right bank, plunges into the earth and crashed in a wooded area located 2,4 miles north of the runway. The aircraft was destroyed and all four crew members were killed.
Crew:
Cpt Kenneth Gomes, pilot,
Cpt Matthew Ramstsch, copilot,
1st Lt John McCarron, navigator,
S/Sgt Jimmy Tardie, boom operator.

Shortly after takeoff from Mont-de-Marsan AFB (BA 118), the twin engine aircraft crashed and burst into flames. All three crew members were killed.
Crew:
Col Jacques Couilleau,
Sgt Michel Blanc,
Sgt Bernard Ruy.

The crew was engaged in a local training flight at Stephenville-Ernest Harmon Airport. Following several circuits, the crew started a night approach to runway 09 with a tailwind component. Apparently due to a wrong approach configuration, the airplane landed too far down the runway. After touchdown, the pilot feathered the propeller on two engines but the airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran, struck several approach lights and eventually came to rest in a pond located short of runway 27 threshold. All five crew members were killed.
