Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar

The crew was completing a local training mission at Pisa-Arturo dell'Oro Airbase (Pisa-San Giusto-Galileo Galilei Airport). Following a steep approach, the airplane landed hard. Upon touchdown, one of the landing gear collapsed and the airplane slid on its belly before coming to rest. There were no injuries but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft was engaged in a local test flight at Greybull Airport and was carrying one passenger and three crew members. After takeoff, while climbing, the crew encountered technical problems with the right engine. The captain elected to return and initiated a turn when the aircraft lost height and crashed. All three crew members were killed while the passenger was seriously injured.

Crashed in unknown circumstances while taking off from Campo dos Afonsos Airbase. Both pilots were killed.

While approaching the coast to land on an unknown airport, the crew was unable to locate the airfield due to thick fog. The captain evacuated the area and flew over the sea when few minutes later, he ordered all 16 crew members to bail out and to abandon the aircraft that crashed into the sea. 15 occupants were rescued while one was killed.

The crew was completing a long flight from Lockbourne AFB (Columbus, Ohio) to Amman, Jordan, with intermediate stops in Gander, Keflavik, Wiesbaden, Marseille and Athens. While cruising in poor weather conditions (stormy weather) to the east of the Rhône Valley, the crew failed to realize he was not on the proper flight track, probably due to strong winds gusting from the south. In poor visibility, the airplane struck the slope of a mountain located near the Devès Pass, near Aulan. The aircraft was destroyed and all five crew members were killed.

The crew departed Biên Hòa Airport on a mission to An Lộc under callsign Stinger 41. While circling over An Lộc at an altitude of 4,700 feet, the starboard wing was hit by ground fire. The captain reduced his altitude and lower the gear in an attempt to make an emergency landing. This caused high drag and the airplane lost altitude. Seven crew members bailed out and abandoned the aircraft that crash 8 km from An Lộc. All three crew members who remained on board were killed.

The aircraft was destroyed and all 39 occupants were killed, most of them members of the special forces.

En route on a night gunship mission, the captain informed ground that he lost a propeller blade on the left engine. He elected to return to Đà Nẵng Airport but eventually decided to continue over the South China Sea where all 10 crew members abandoned the aircraft that crashed into the sea. Nine occupants were found alive while the body of the 10th crew member (T/Sgt Clyde Douglas Alloway) was not recovered.
