Shortly after takeoff from Kadena AFB, while en route to Vietnam, the crew informed ground that two engines failed and was initiating a return. Shortly later, the airplane went out of control and crashed into the ocean some 24 km southeast of Kadena AFB. All 11 occupants were killed.

For unknown reason, the pilot continued the approach at an insufficient altitude until the aircraft struck the slope of Mt Phou Bai at an altitude of 7,500 feet. All six crew members were killed.

Crashed in unknown circumstances somewhere in Pakistan. Crew fate remains unknown.

The crew was completing a flight from London to Rio de Janeiro, with an intermediate stop in Recife. After a night stop in Recife, the crew took off from Recife-Guararapes Airport in early morning on the last leg to Rio. Shortly after takeoff from runway 36, while climbing, the crew informed ATC that one of the right engine caught fire and elected to make an emergency landing. The airplane lost height and eventually crashed in flames on a potery located in the district of Apipucos, some 10 km northwest of the airport. The aircraft was destroyed and all seven crew members were killed.

While landing at Bu Dop, the C-130 had a recoilless rifle round explode near its right wing. It taxied to the cargo pad and unloaded its cargo of 105 artillery ammunition. It then taxied to the end of the runway and the aircraft attempted to takeoff with three engines. The right outboard engine was feathered. It reached an altitude of about 300 ft when the right inboard engine seized pulling the aircraft into the antitank mine field where it struck an antitank mine which blew the aircraft in half at the landing gear. The front portion of the aircraft slid just barely into the camp through the anti personnel minefield. Reportedly there were four fatalities on the ground: Cambodian strike force members of the 5th Special Forces III Mobile Strike Force.

The aircraft departed Ubon Ratchathani Airport on an orbital control flight at 9,000 feet. En route, the airplane was hit by several rounds of 37 mm flak and burst into flames. Out of control, it dove into the ground and crashed in a mountainous and isolated area. SAR operations were abandoned after few weeks as no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. The remains of the crew were returned from Laos in November 1993 and positively identified in October 1995.
