Douglas C-47 Skytrain (DC-3)

Flight 209 was a scheduled public transport flight from Bucaramanga to Barrancabermeja and was to return the same evening. The aircraft departed Bucaramanga at 1628 hoiurs and six minutes later the pilot reported crossing the Palonegro beacon and that the flight was proceeding normally. It was heading west at 4,500 feet and estimated its time of arrival at Barrancabermeja as 1650 hours. This was the last and only report received from the aircraft. The aircraft crashed sometime between 1640 and 1730 hours local time, in daylight. The aircraft crashed in a wooded area located 48 km east of Barrancabermeja and was destroyed. Both pilots, a stewardess and 21 passengers were killed, two others were injured.

Crashed in unknown circumstances.

The ski-equipped LC-47 was making a jet assisted takeoff when a JATO canister was released accidentally before it stopped firing, hitting the aircraft's propeller. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

Air Vietnam DC-3, XV-NID, was on a scheduled domestic flight from Huế to Đà Nẵng. It took off from Huế at 1420LT with 3 crew and 24 passengers aboard. The air route from Huế to Đà Nẵng is over the sea and requires alterations of course along the route. After take-off XV-NID headed out to sea and at 1423LT it took the first course at an altitude of about 300 meters (1,000 feet). At 1426LT the aircraft requested and obtained permission from Huế ATC to change to the Đà Nẵng ATC frequency 113.1 Mc/s. Difficulty in establishing radio communications between the aircraft and Đà Nẵng was experienced up 1436LT. At that time XV-NId requested the weather conditions and the runway in use at Đà Nẵng. Đà Nẵng transmitted the information which was acknowledged by the aircraft with the statement that it would call when on the downwind leg of runway 35. Đà Nẵng then requested the aircraft's position and estimated time of arrival but received no reply. Further attempts to contact XV-NID were unsuccessful. The accident occurred at approximately 1437LT. On 13 November the wreckage of the aircraft was located on a mountain at an elevation of 550 meters (1,800 feet), 19,6 km north northwest of Đà Nẵng Airport. All 27 occupants have been killed.

Operated by the Argentinian Navy (Armada Argentina), the airplane registered 0232 (CTA-23) ran out of fuel. The crew was forced to attempt an emergency landing by the Bahía Aguirre, east of Ushuaia. Both crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft was undergoing the final flight test required for issuance of its Certificate of Airworthiness. It was to be a visual, local flight lasting about 1 hr 30 min. The takeoff run began at 15:14 hours, 200 m from the threshold of runway 23. This meant that 1900 m of the runway remained for the takeoff. The aircraft rose to a height which could not be determined but could not have been less than 5 m or more than 15 m. About 30 seconds after the commencement of the manoeuvre its right wing grazed the surface of the runway several times. During the later contacts the landing gear bounced off the ground with such force that the right tire burst and the landing gear leg broke causing the axle and propeller to hit the ground while the right engine was turning at almost full power. The aircraft again bounced into the air rolled over completely and finally came to rest upside down. Between the time the aircraft bounced into the air and the moment it finally came to rest, the pilot turned the power off completely. This was proved by an inspection of the condition and final positions of both propellers and the engine control switches, which were in the "off" position. Fire broke out for reasons that could not be precisely ascertained. The aircraft was totally destroyed and all 10 occupants were killed.

While cruising in bad weather conditions, the airplane struck the slope of a mountain located in the region of the Sela Pass. The aircraft was destroyed and all eight occupants were killed.

While conducting a humanitarian mission over Katanga, the airplane was hit by enemy fire. The crew completed an emergency landing in a prairie when the aircraft crash landed. Two passengers were killed and eight other occupants were uninjured. Leased from Transair Sweden, the aircraft was written off.

The aircraft was on a non-scheduled domestic flight from Caranavi to Rurrenabaque It took off from Caranavi at 0806/10 hours local time. The aircraft flew for 7 minutes on a true heading of approximately 320°. When it was over Alcoche, 21 km from Caranavi, at an estimated altitude of 3500 - 4000 feet, ground witnesses noticed the left engine ceased functioning and that an increase of power was applied to the other engine. The aircraft was then seen to be flying with the right wing ahead of the left and a few seconds later the aircraft started turning left towards the widest part of the valley in which the aircraft was flying. During the turn the aircraft assumed an almost inverted attitude but it recovered. From the flight path described by witnesses the nose of the aircraft went up twice before going into a 180° change of direction and before crashing into the river. The aircraft struck the surface in a level attitude with a high rate of vertical descent There was no forward movement on impact. The force of impact was so great as to flatten the lower surface of the left wing and the fuselage. The floor of the fuselage was forced to the ceiling.

Crashed in unknown circumstances somewhere in Laos while performing a humanitarian mission on behalf of the United Nations Organization (UNO). Both passengers and all three crew members were killed.
