South Korea

Crashed on approach to Gunsan while on an ELINT (electronic surveillance) mission from Hsinchu, killing all 14 occupants.

The crew was engaged in a maritime patrol flight over the China Sea. While cruising over the Jeju Island, the seaplane struck the slope of Mt Hallasan. The aircraft was totally destroyed upon impact and all ten crew members were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from runway 32 at Seoul-Gimpo Airport, while in initial climb, a propeller blade on the engine number three detached, struck the fuselage and penetrated the cabin, killing four passengers instantly. Doing so, the ailerons and rudder cables were cut. Before the crew would be able to shot down the engine number three and to feather its propeller, both other blades detached and struck the engine number four. The crew contacted ATC and received the permission for an emergency landing on runway 14. Shortly later, the airplane went out of control and crashed in flames in a canal located near the Han River, about 15 km north of the airport. 24 people were injured while 113 other were unhurt. Unfortunately, 22 occupants were killed, among them three crew member of which both pilots.

The single engine aircraft was performing a flight from Gunsan to Seoul-Gimpo, carrying one pilot and three Polish observers who should conduct a check of the 38th parallel on behalf of the United Nations Organization. Enroute, the pilot encountered heavy snow falls and lost control of the airplane that crashed 50 km north of Gunsan. All four occupants were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Daegu Airport, while climbing, the aircraft suffered an engine failure, stalled and crashed in a field located 2,7 km east of the airfield. At least one crew member was killed in the crash.

Enroute, weather conditions worsened and the pilot decided to attempt an emergency landing. The airplane was damaged beyond repair while the pilot was uninjured.

Crashed in unknown circumstances at Gunsan Airfield. The crew fate remains unknown.

En route by night from Iwakuni to Suwon, the crew informed ground about an engine failure and elected to ditch the aircraft. The wreckage was found two days later and all ten crew members have been killed. It is possible that the accident was the result of an aerial attack by a US Navy Douglas AD-4B Skyraider during a night patrol.
