En route, the three engine airplane collided with a vulture, forcing the crew to attempt an emergency landing in an open field. While the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, all four occupants evacuated safely. The aircraft was owned by Prince George Valentin Bibescu, President of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).

Upon landing at Ovalle Airport, the three engine airplane named 'San Cristobal' went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest. All seven occupants were slightly injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On final approach to Harrisburg Airport, the airplane was too low and struck an embankment short of runway. The right main gear and the right engine were torn off and the aircraft came to rest in a grassy area. There were no casualties and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Crashed in unknown circumstances. There were no casualties.

The crew was performing a local test flight at Dearborn Airport. Upon landing, the airplane went out of control and crashed, bursting into flames. Both crew members were killed.

The aircraft departed Prague-Kbely Airport at 1505LT on a flight to Bratislava with an intermediate stop in Brno. While cruising at a height of 700 metres, weather conditions worsened and the captain decided first to reduce his altitude. Shortly later, he realized the weather conditions were becoming worse and worse with thunderstorm activity. Due to low visibility, he decided to make a 180 turn to go back to Prague. While flying at a height estimated between 15 and 20 metres in limited visibility, he saw the chimney of a brickwork and made a sharp turn to the left to avoid the collision. Doing so, the aircraft stalled and hit the roof of a farmhouse then crashed half in a garden. While a passenger (Professor Vojtěch Kraus) was seriously injured, all 12 other occupants were killed. Up to date, this accident was considered as the worst involving CSA Czech Airlines since its creation in 1923.

The aircraft named 'Salta' crashed in unknown circumstances while taking off from Buenos Aires Airport. There were no casualties and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

En route from Tijuana to Los Angeles, weather conditions deteriorated. The visibility was very bad due to heavy rain falls. The crew reduced his altitude and apparently attempted an emergency landing in an open field when, on short final, the aircraft rolled to the left and lost height, causing the left wing to struck the ground. Out of control, the airplane crashed and slid for about 60 metres before coming to rest, bursting into flames. The aircraft was destroyed and all 16 occupants were killed. Up to date, worst aircraft accident in the United States.
