In the early morning of August 6, two GVF PS-84 registered CCCP-L3480 and CCCP-L3432 departed Pakhomovo on a positioning flight to Moscow-Vnukovo. Due to the actual situation, the crew was unable to receive information about weather conditions at the destination airport and the person in charge at Pakhomovo Airport cleared both crew to takeoff without receiving any information about the weather conditions at destination. About 3 to 5 minutes separated both takeoffs. Upon arrival at Vnukovo Airport, the crew of CCCP-L3480 encountered foggy conditions, initiated a go around procedure and followed a circuit. As the second airplane was attempting to land, it collided with the first one that was attempting to land on the same runway but from the opposite direction. Both airplanes crash landed. CCCP-L3480 was repaired and returned to service while CCCP-L3432 was damaged beyond repair. The crew was injured.

The airplane was shot down by enemy fire and crashed near Mosaly. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.

The airplane crashed for unknown reasons while taking off from an airstrip somewhere in Russia while on a special night mission. All three crew members were rescued.

The crew was supposed to fly to an unknown airfield. As he was unable to find that airfield, the pilot (M. I. Burin) decided to land at Vyazma Airport. He failed to fly the full aerodrome circuit and approached at an angle that allowed the airplane to touch down 120 metres from the perimeter of the airfield. Out of control, it collided with a ditch and ended up in a ravine. There were no casualties.

The airplane was engaged in a transfer of wounded soldiers between two airports in the region of Vyazma. While flying at low height, it was shot down by a German fighter and crashed in a field, bursting into flames. All three crew members were injured and the passenger was killed. The airplane was destroyed by a post crash fire.

Mr. Dobrovolski +2.

The airplane departed Kholm on a flight to Kalinin (now Tver), carrying 21 wounded soldiers and a crew of three. After takeoff from Kholm, the radio operator took over controls and continued to the east. Approaching the area of Lake Sabro, the captain asked the radio operator to reduced his altitude to minimum, order dismissed by the radio operator. The captain took over controls and descended until both propellers impacted the surface of the lake. The airplane went out of control and crash landed on an island. The captain was seriously injured and a passenger was killed. All other occupants were transferred to Kalinin.

En route from Yedrovo to Andreapol, the captain reduced his altitude while over the Lake Sig to avoid German fighters. Doing so, the airplane impacted the water surface and crashed. Ten occupants were injured and seven others were killed. The airplane sank and was lost. The wreckage was found many years later.

The airplane crashed in unknown circumstances in Judino, killing the entire crew.
