Khe Sanh

After landing at Khe Sanh Airport, the airplane went out of control, veered off runway to the left then collided with several vehicles (trucks) and came to rest in flames. All eight occupants were injured and the passenger died from his injuries few days later.

The aircraft was completing a flight from Huế to Khe Sanh, carrying troops and spare parts. On approach, the crew was forced to make a go-around because of the presence of a light aircraft on runway. Shortly later, the airplane was hit by ground fire. The left engine caught fire and the airplane crashed in a dense wooded area located 2 km from the airfield. All 50 occupants were killed, 5 crew members, 44 soldiers and one civilian photographer.

After liftoff from Khe Sanh Airstrip, while in initial climb, the airplane was struck by a mortal shell.

The crew was completing a cargo flight from Đà Nẵng to Khe Sanh, carrying a load of various equipment and fuel drums. On approach to Khe Sanh, the airplane was struck by enemy artillery and the engine number three exploded. The pilot-in-command continued the approach and after touchdown, the airplane exploded and came to rest in flames on runway. All five passengers and three crew members were killed while three others were injured. The aircraft was totally destroyed by a post crash fire. It was reported that the explosion that occurred after landing were caused by the ignition of the jet fuel carried on board.

During a resupply mission to the Marine Corps based at Khe Sanh, at Hercules crashed short of the runway during a GCA approach and caught fire, killing all but one of the crew. The aircraft was attempting to deliver a load of sandbags by flying low and slow over the runway and pushing them out of the back. The sandbags were needed as part of a major reconstruction programme at the base and had to airdropped as the runway was being rebuilt. The weather was poor at the time with a low cloud base and the accident was thought to have been due to pilot error rather than enemy action.
