Charleston-Intl

On approach to Charleston Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and was forced to make a go around. Few minutes later, the captain tried an approach to another runway but did not realized that his altitude was too low. The aircraft hit tree tops and crashed in flames in a wooded area located about 3 miles short of runway. All five occupants were killed. It was reported by a local police officer that an unidentified control tower operator had given the pilot permission to land shortly before the plane crashed. The plane was en route from Newark to Miami to pick up cargo, and was carrying an extra pilot and two stewardesses as "dead-heads."

While descending to Newark from the west, the aircraft was passing successively 6,000, 4,000 and 2,000 feet. The pilot was unable to localize Camden and was unaware of his real position due to marginal weather conditions. While descending to 1,400 feet, the left wing impacted trees. The aircraft stalled and crashed in a wooded area located on a hill some four miles northeast of Milford. All 11 occupants were rescued and the aircraft was destroyed.
