Douglas C-47 Skytrain (DC-3)

After touchdown at Fornebu Airport, the airplane deviated from the centerline and struck a snowbank before coming to rest. There were no injuries but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Crashed in unknown circumstances at Arctic Bay. There were no injuries but the aircraft was written off.

During the takeoff roll, the aircraft skidded on runway and eventually veered off to the left before crashing into a mill. Both pilots, three passengers and one person on the ground were killed while 13 other people in the airplane plus three on the ground were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

The crew (pilots and instructors) departed Pittsburgh-Greater Pittsburgh Airport at 2230LT for a local training flight (proficiency check). About thirty minutes into the flight, the crew reported an engine fire and elected to return for an emergency landing when the airplane went out of control, clipped trees and crashed in flames near the Snowden Junior-Senior High School. The aircraft was destroyed and all five crew members were killed.

During a night approach to São Luis-Tirirical Airport, the airplane struck the ground and crashed 500 meters short of runway 06 threshold. All three crew members were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Flight IR123 was a scheduled international cargo flight from Kabul, Afghanistan to Tehran, Iran. The co-pilot was in the left-hand seat and pilot flying at the commencement of the takeoff run. The aircraft was cleared for takeoff on runway 29 at 13:13. When accelerating for takeoff the pilot-in-command noticed that the propeller of the no. 1 engine was overspeeding and surging as high as 3300 rpm. As the aircraft approached an indicated airspeed of about 80 kts the captain took command. He noticed that the aircraft was headed to the left away from the runway centreline towards three runway lights in a concrete footing at the left edge of the runway. To avoid a possible collision with these lights the captain applied elevator control and lifted the aircraft off the runway. The overspeeding propeller condition did not subside although he followed the procedure prescribed in the operations manual for corrective action. The flight path was about 30 to 45° to the left of the runway and in the general direction of the Kabul Airport terminal building so the captain attempted to turn the aircraft further to the left to avoid collision with the building. About 325 ft from the south edge of runway 29 the left wing contacted the ground and the aircraft crashed.

On approach to Surabaya Airport, the airplane struck a mountain, killing all 14 occupants.

Shortly after takeoff, while climbing, both engines failed. The aircraft stalled and crashed in a field past the runway end. Both crew members were evacuated while the aircraft was destroyed.

Shortly after takeoff from Rio de Janeiro-Santos Dumont Airport, while climbing to a height of 30 meters, the aircraft stalled and crashed into the Guanabara Bay, about 800 meters from the runway end. The aircraft was lost and all three crew members were killed.

While cruising at an altitude of 4,000 feet in foggy conditions, the airplane struck the slope of a mountain and crashed 30 km northeast of Aviano Airbase. All four crew members were killed.
