On final approach to Port-au-Prince-François Duvalier Airport by night, the airplane went out of control, rolled on its back and crashed in flames short of runway. The aircraft was destroyed and all three occupants were killed. A load of marijuana was found on board. It was reported by Haitian Authorities that the pilot did not file any flight plan. The airplane was not scheduled to land at Port-au-Prince Airport and the pilot did not maintain any radio contact with ATC at all.

The aircraft was engaged in a local test flight at Bogotá-El Dorado Airport, carrying four crew members, two pilots and two engineers. After passing over runway 12 at an altitude of about 200 feet, the pilot was able to send a brief mayday message when the airplane banked left and crashed in flames. The aircraft was destroyed and all four occupants were killed.

A tire burst upon landing at Carmelita. The airplane went out of control, veered off runway and nosed over. There were no casualties.

En route from Saint Louis to Boca Raton, both engines failed. The crew declared an emergency, reduced his altitude and attempted an emergency landing near Belle Glade. After touchdown, the airplane struck high vegetation then nosed down and crashed. Both pilots escaped with minor injuries while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

After takeoff from Fort Lauderdale-Executive Airport, the airplane failed to gain height, stalled and crashed near the runway end. The aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire and both pilots were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Alexandria Airport, while climbing, the airplane went out of control and crashed in the Mediterranean Sea. All 18 occupants were killed, among them few American citizens. They were en route to the Um Barka Oil Field.

En route from Miami to San Juan, the airplane suffered a major electrical failure. The crew lost his orientation and flew to the west over the Gulf of Mexico. Eventually, the captain elected to ditch the aircraft that crashed into the sea about 125 miles south of Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The crew of the merchant ship 'St Mary' was able to rescue three people while a crew member was killed.

The airplane departed Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport runway 09L at 1129LT on a positioning flight to Havana, Cuba, to pick up 21 US citizens. While flying over the Florida Strait at an altitude of 6,000 feet in relative good weather conditions, the crew encountered difficulties to maintain radio contact with Cuban ATC. Thus, messages were relayed by the crew of another airplane flying higher. Eight minutes after the radio contact was properly established, the airplane disappeared from radar screens and crashed into the sea. SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended three days later, on Sep 24, as no trace of the aircraft nor the four crew members was found.

While taking off, the airplane suffered a bird strike. The crew was forced to attempt an emergency landing when the airplane crash landed in a swampy area located past the runway end. There were no injuries but the aircraft was written off.
