Shortly after takeoff from runway 04L at Honolulu-Daniel K. Inouye Airport, while climbing, the single engine airplane entered a left bank instead initiating a right turn as instructed by ATC. The airplane then descended into the ground and crashed on a vacant building, bursting into flames. The airplane was totally destroyed and both occupants were killed.

The pilot was engaged in a five-hour aerial photography mission. While returning to Victoria Airport, he encountered engine trouble and attempted an emergency landing when the airplane crashed on Mockingbird Lane and a feeder road to Zac Lentz Parkway, also known as State Highway Loop 463, Victoria, Texas. The aircraft was destroyed as well as several cars. The pilot and four people on the ground were injured, one seriously.

While on a night approach to Muskogee-Davis Field, the pilot encountered engine problems. On final, the airplane lost height and collided with a Lockheed T-33 installed on metallic pylon near the airfield. Upon impact, a part of the right wing was torn off and the airplane crash landed in a field. All five occupants escaped with minor injuries.

During the takeoff roll on runway 22L at Mesa-Falcon Field Airport, after completing a distance of about 3,400 feet and at a speed of 133 knots, the crew decided to abort the takeoff procedure and initiated an emergency braking maneuver. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran, went through the perimeter fence, hit a car moving around on North Greenfield Road and eventually came to rest against trees, bursting into flames. A passenger was rescued while four other occupants, two passengers and both pilots were killed. The car's driver was also killed. The accident occurred in good weather conditions.

Shortly after takeoff from Norfolk-Karl Stefan Airport, while in initial climb, the twin engine airplane went out of control and crashed in an open field located one-half mile south of the runway. The airplane was destroyed and the pilot, sole on board, was killed.

The approach to Saint Mary's Airport was initiated in marginal weather conditions. On short final, the single engine airplane crashed about 800 metres short of runway and was destroyed. All four occupants were killed. The airplane was completing a taxi flight from Bethel.

On final approach to Anderson-Darlington Field Airport, the pilot initiated a go-around procedure, probably because his altitude was too high. Control was lost and the single engine airplane crashed in an open field located three miles from the airfield, bursting into flames. All four occupants were killed.

After takeoff from runway 25 at Troutdale Airport, the twin engine airplane climbed to an altitude of 1,700 feet when the pilot was contacted by ATC about the fact that his altitude was well above the VFR altitude restrictions for the Gresham-Troutdale area. The pilot reported handling problem when the airplane entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed onto a house located in Fairview, about two km southwest from runway 07 threshold, bursting into flames. Both occupants as well as one people in the house were killed. The airplane was en route to Saint George, Utah.

The crew was completing a flight from Odessa to Ellington Field, near Houston. After takeoff from runway 16, while in initial climb, the twin engine airplane collided with a poweline located about 270 metres past the runway end. The airplane descended to the right and crashed onto a garage located 150 metres further, bursting into flames. The airplane was totally destroyed and both occupants were killed.

After a flight from Dallas-Addison, the crew made two stops at Palm Coast, Florida, and Goldsboro, North Carolina, before returning to his base at Washington-Warren Field. After landing on runway 23, the airplane suffered a runway excursion and came to a halt, bursting into flames. Both crew members evacuated safely while the airplane was partially destroyed by fire.
