Beechcraft AT-7 Navigator

The crew was supposed to fly from Tres Esquinas to Puerto Leguízamo but as the flight was illegal, they departed the Colombian Airspace for Ecuador. En route, an unexpected situation forced the crew to attempt an emergency landing by the Rio Pusuno, east of the city of Tena. All three occupants escaped and were arrested while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. A load of cocaine was found on board.

The twin engine airplane was engaged in a drug smuggling flight from San Luis, Mexico, carrying marijuana. While approaching Searchlight by night, the pilot failed to realize his altitude was too low when the airplane struck power cables 2,5 miles short of runway. After impact, the airplane lost height and crashed in flames. All three occupants were killed.

The aircraft was completing a flight from Monterey to Norton AFB in San Bernardino, carrying a crew of two and a sailor passenger, fireman of the USS Badoeng Strait. While cruising by night at an altitude of 5,000 feet, the airplane hit the slope of Mt Cajon located south of Cajon Pass. The wreckage was found four days later, on January 13. The aircraft was destroyed and all three occupants have been killed.

An engine failed in flight, forcing the crew to reduce his altitude and attempting an emergency landing. The twin engine aircraft belly landed in a field located nine miles south of Fredonia. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While cruising in poor weather conditions from Pyongtaek to Sokcho, the twin engine aircraft was hit by antiaircraft fire. Both pilots decided to abandon the aircraft and baled out. The aircraft crashed and was destroyed while both crew members were uninjured.

Shortly after takeoff from Palanquero Airport, bound for Madrid AFB, the pilot-in-command was forced to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft crashed landed few km from the airport and was damaged beyond repair. A crew member was killed while two others were injured.

The twin engine aircraft was standing by at the holding point for takeoff when it was hit by a USN Chance Vought F4U Corsair registered 121834. Its pilot was performing a local training mission. The Navigator was destroyed and one of its pilot was killed while four other occupants were injured. The pilot of the Corsair survived.

Crash landed for unknown reason. There were no casualties.

The twin engine aircraft departed Tucson, Arizona, with a stop in El Centro, California, on a routine training flight bound for MCAS El Toro in Orange County, CA with four men on board. The weather in Southern California included heavy overcast with rain and strong winds in the vicinity of the El Toro base. The pilot was initially cleared to make an instrument approach, but was then directed into a holding pattern because of a technical problem with the GCA landing system. After a few minutes the El Toro controller cleared 29649 to land, as the GCA problem had been fixed, but the pilot of the SNB-5 did not respond. It was then recognized that the aircraft had crashed and search & rescue protocols were initiated. Three days later, the wreckage was spotted by a Civil Air Patrol pilot on the west flank of the Santa Ana Mountains at 4,000 feet MSL, the altitude the pilot had been directed to hold by the controller prior to being cleared to land. Weather and technical problems contributed to this tragic accident. The crew, flying in the clouds did not see the mountain and died instantaneously upon impact.
