After takeoff from Bronson Creek, while climbing to a height of 800 feet, the crew initiate a left turn when the left wing rolled to an angle of 30°. The aircraft stalled and crashed, bursting into flames. Both occupants were killed. The aircraft was carrying a load of gold.

The crew was engaged in a local test flight after the right engine has been replaced. After takeoff, while in initial climb, the left engine lost power and smoke came out. The crew decided to return but was unable to maintain a safe altitude. In such conditions, the captain decided to attempt an emergency landing when the aircraft crashed in a swampy area near the airport. All three occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

After landing at Bangkok-Don Mueang Airport, the aircraft went out of control, veered off runway to the left, struck a fence and crossed a drainage ditch before coming to rest. There were no casualties.

Shortly after takeoff from Tatoi AFB, while in initial climb, the aircraft suffered an engine failure, stalled and crashed in an olive grove some 400 metres past the runway end. A crew member was killed while five other occupants were injured.

Shortly after takeoff from Santiago de Los Caballeros-Cibao Airport, while flying at low height, the aircraft struck high power cables and crashed in a wooded area. Both pilots were killed.

The aircraft was approaching Vila de Sena Airstrip following a cargo flight from Beira, carrying a load of various goods. As the airfield was located in an area subject to combats, the crew completed a low approach to avoid any hostile action. On approach to a grassy airfield, the aircraft drifted to the right so the captain elected to correct the deviation when the aircraft struck trees, stalled and crashed in the Zambezi River. Two crew members were rescued while a third was killed.

After takeoff from Barcelona-El Prat Airport, while climbing to a height of about 200 feet, the aircraft banked left, lost speed and altitude.

The twin engine aircraft departed Villavicencio-La Vanguardia Airport at 0909LT on a cargo flight to Miraflores, carrying 11 passengers, three crew members and a load of 3 tons of various goods. A little more than eight minutes after takeoff, while climbing, the right engine failed and the crew was cleared to return to Villavicencio for an emergency landing. On approach, the crew asked the passengers to jettison the cargo but when all 11 passengers went to the rear of the cabin, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field located near La Poyata, less than 2 km from the airport. A pilot was injured while 13 other occupants were killed.

The airplane sustained a partial loss of engine power on the left engine on takeoff climb due to the failure of the n°8 engine assembly cylinder. The airplane was observed by witnesses at 400 feet agl in a 20° left bank while maneuvering to return to the departure airport. The angle of bank increased to 60° with a noticeable decrease in airspeed while the airplane descended below 300 feet agl. The left wing dropped 90° to the left and the nose pitched down vertically. The airplane appeared to regain elevator authority and leveled out before encountering a secondary stall. The airplane collided with the terrain and was destroyed by post crash fire. Both pilots were killed.

The aircraft was completing a charter flight from Sturdee Valley to Smithers on behalf of a mine company.
