Douglas C-47 Skytrain (DC-3)

About 35 minutes into the flight, while cruising at an altitude of 5,500 feet, the left engine started to malfunction. It was decided to shut it down and to feather the propeller. Full power was added on the right engine that exploded shortly later. In such situation, the crew decided to ditch the aircraft off Llaque Island located in the region of Puerto Montt. The aircraft sank and was lost and the crew was rescued.

On approach to La Paz-El Alto, the crew encountered an unexpected situation and was forced to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft crash landed in Laja, about 18 km west of the airport. All five occupants were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Shortly after takeoff, while climbing to a height of 50 meters, the crew encountered technical problems with the propellers. Decision was taken to attempt an emergency landing. The airplane crash landed in a grassy area located along the runway, lost its engines and came to rest. All 15 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was written off.

One minute after takeoff from Faleolo Airport, while climbing, the airplane entered a low pressure area with thunderstorm activity, rain falls, turbulences and windshear. The airplane went out of control and crashed into the sea few hundred yards offshore. It exploded while contacting the water surface and all 32 occupants were killed.

On landing at Chiang Klang Airport, the airplane went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest in flames. A passenger was killed while five other occupants were injured.

The airplane was engaged in a training mission, carrying a crew of 5 and 22 paratroopers. While cruising in foggy conditions, the airplane struck the slope of Mt Kithairon located near Vilia, some 47 km northwest of Athens. Three paratroopers and a crew member were rescued while 23 other occupants were killed.

On final approach, the pilot failed to realize his altitude was too low when a wing struck trees. The airplane lost height and crashed on a hillside located few km from the airport. Both pilots and four passengers were killed.

After a course of 500 meters, the airplane took off and reached a height of 10 meters when the right wing dropped. The right wing tip struck the ground and the airplane crash landed. All three crew members were slightly injured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The airplane flew over the runway 01 threshold at a speed of 85 knots when it was caught by a strong gust of wind. It gained height then turn to its right heading to the terminal. To avoid any collision, the pilot-in-command made a turn to the left when the left wingtip struck the ground, causing the aircraft to crash by the runway. All 18 occupants were rescued and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While approaching Timmins Airport, the crew realized that weather conditions were marginal and decided to return to Winisk. This was not possible as the weather worsened at Winisk as well so the crew returned to Timmins and initiated a second approach despite the visibility was below minima. On final, the aircraft was too low and crashed three km short of runway threshold. Both pilots and two passengers were killed while four others were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.
