Shortly after takeoff from Stinson Municipal Airport, south of San Antonio, the pilot informed ATC about an engine failure and was cleared to return for an emergency landing. Following a wrong approach configuration, he landed too far down the runway. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran and came to a halt. The airplane was destroyed and both occupants were seriously injured.

Shortly after takeoff from Andrews AFB, while in initial climb, the aircraft went out of control and crashed few miles from the airfield. All nine crew members were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Hilo-General Lyman Airport, while in initial climb, the aircraft stalled and crashed near the runway. It was destroyed upon impact and all three crew members were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Red Bank-Schrewsbury Airport, while climbing in foggy conditions, the left engine failed. The pilot lost control of the airplane that stalled and crashed in a field. All nine occupants were killed. They were on their way to New York-John Fitzgerald Kennedy Airport in this early morning flight.

On final approach to Elkhart Airport, after passing the VOR, the pilot cancelled his IFR flight plan and continued under VFR mode despite poor weather conditions (low ceiling and snow falls). While circling to land, he failed to locate the runway that was covered with snow and the aircraft was not properly aligned with runway. The airplane overshot and then collided with a building before crashing on the ground. The pilot was seriously injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Shortly after takeoff from Minneapolis-World Chamberlain Airport, while climbing, the pilot informed ATC about fire on board and that smoke spread in the cabin and cockpit. He elected to make an emergency landing when control was lost and the airplane crashed in flames on Interstate highway. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot was killed.

The crew departed Salt Lake City Airport for a local training flight. Three minutes after passing 9,000 feet, still climbing to reach FL130, the crew informed ATC about smoke in the cockpit. Shortly later, the aircraft entered an emergency descent until il crashed in Woods Cross, about 6 miles northeast of the airport. The aircraft owned by Thomas J. Carter was destroyed and both pilots were killed.

While in cruising altitude under IFR mode, the pilot encountered poor weather with icing conditions. The airplane entered an uncontrolled descent until it crashed in an open field located near Spring City. The pilot was killed and the aircraft was destroyed.

During the takeoff roll on runway 26, the electrical system failed. The crew aborted the takeoff maneuver, started an emergency braking procedure and triggered the reverse thrust system. The reverse thrust system failed to work so the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance and overran. Past the runway end, the nose gear collapsed and the airplane came to rest against a metallic tower supporting the approach light system. All 16 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While cruising in poor weather conditions, the pilot lost control of the airplane that entered an uncontrolled descent until it crashed in an open field located near Bangor. The airplane was destroyed and both occupants were killed. At the time of the accident, weather conditions were poor with rain falls, low clouds and fog. The pilot was not instrument rated.
