Crashed in unknown circumstances into Memphrémagog Lake. There were no casualties.

Crashed in unknown circumstances into Lake Saint-Jean. All three occupants were rescued while the aircraft was lost.

En route, weather conditions worsened and the pilot decided to reduce his altitude in an attempt to maintain a visual contact with the ground. While cruising at an altitude of some 250 feet, the twin engine aircraft struck a radio antenna and crashed in flames in a field. All five occupants were killed.

The aircraft was completing a transatlantic flight from Geneva to Goose Bay with an intermediate stop in Keflavik. On final approach to Goose Bay Airport, both engines failed simultaneously. The crew realized he could not reach the airport so the captain decided to attempt an emergency landing. The airplane belly landed, slid for several yards and came to rest 11 km short of runway. All seven occupants were rescued while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While landing on a glassy water at Whitewater Lake, the single engine airplane overturned, came to rest and sank. The pilot escaped uninjured while all five passengers drowned.

Flight 523 was a scheduled international flight from Prague, Czechoslovakia to Havana, Cuba, via Shannon, Ireland, and Gander, Newfoundland. It departed Prague at 1649 hours GMT on 4 September and proceeded to Shannon where it arrived at 2020 hours for a routine servicing stop. It departed Shannon at 2131 hours arriving at Gander at 0326 hours on 5 September following an uneventful flight. The crew which had flown the aircraft from Prague disembarked at Gander and was replaced by a crew which had been off duty in Gander from 3 September. At Gander the aircraft was serviced and refuelled under the supervision of the flight engineer of the outgoing flight. A flight plan to Havana was filed at about 0405 hours and at 0504 hours the aircraft began taxiing to the threshold of runway 14. It was cleared to take-off at 0508 hours. The length of the ground roll was normal, the undercarriage and flaps were retracted, but the angle of climb was abnormally shallow. At 0509 hours the flight advised the tower controller that the aircraft was airborne, the tower controller acknowledged the transmission and advised the flight to contact Air Traffic Control Centre on a frequency of 119.7 MHz. Whilst the radio operator was changing frequency the aircraft struck the ground about 4 000 feet beyond the end of the runway. The accident occurred at 0510 hours GMT. Debris scattered on 1,500 meters and 32 occupants were wounded while 37 others were killed, among them 4 crew members.

The crew was called at 1630LT for a forest fire that erupted on Skirt mountain near Victoria. The crew first made a scooping mission on the Saanich Inlet with more than 1,000 gallons of water. About an hour later, while flying at low height, the left wing of Tanker 772 struck a tree and the airplane crashed. Both pilots were killed, Alex Davidson (founder of The Flying Fireman) and Robert 'Paddy' Moore. The mission was completed on behalf of the BC Forest Service.

While completing a last turn at low height to land on Sharpe Lake, the pilot lost control of the airplane that stalled and crashed into the lake. The aircraft was lost and both occupants were injured. Few hours later, the pilot died from his injuries.

The crew was completing a flight from the State of Montana to Juneau, Alaska. En route, he was requested to take part to a SAR mission after a small plane carrying two people was missing. In the region of the Sloko Lake, the seaplane struck a mountain and crashed. Three crew members were killed and three others were rescued.
Those killed were:
Lt Robert D. Brown,
Lt David J. Bain,
AT2 Robert W. Striff Jr.

The engine failed en route. The pilot lost control of the airplane that stalled, struck the ground and came to rest upside down. The wreckage was found north of Seven Island. The pilot was uninjured while the aircraft was written off.
