The descent to Elmendorf AFB was started by night and low visibility. As the aircraft was too low, it hit the slope of Mt Chugach located 8 miles southeast of its intended destination. The passenger and a crewman were rescued while five others were killed.

During the final approach completed by night, an engine failed. The aircraft lost height, hit trees and crashed in flames, upside down, in a wooded area. All four crew members were killed.

Enroute from Wright Patterson AFB to Minneapolis-Wold-Chamberlain Airport, the crew noticed that the manifold pressure dropped and was unable to resolve the problem. In such situation, the captain decided to reduce his altitude in an attempt to make an emergency landing in a field. Unfortunately, the aircraft attitude was wrong and its speed was too high. The aircraft hit the ground, bounced, hit trees and eventually crash landed. Both pilots and two passengers were injured while six others were killed.

When the crew started the approach to McChord AFB, he was informed that a landing was not possible due to poor weather conditions. The captain decided to return to Fresno but while flying east of Coos Bay, the crew decided to bail out and abandoned the aircraft that crashed in a wooded area located 42 miles east of Coos Bay. Rescuers arrived on site two days later and nine occupants were evacuated. For unknown reason, two people were still in the aircraft and were killed while a third one was never found. The exact cause and circumstances of the accident remains unknown.

On takeoff, went out of control and crashed on a Misrair Avro Anson registered SU-ACX and carrying one pilot that was killed in the crash. All three crew members on board the Stirling were injured. Both aircraft were destroyed.

During the takeoff roll, the aircraft deviated to the right, veered off runway to the right, lost its landing gear and came to rest in flames into a ditch. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

While cruising at an altitude of 14,000 feet, the aircraft went through a cumulonimbus area. It became uncontrollable, partially disintegrated in the air and crashed near Thanchi. All 14 occupants were killed.

Shortly after takeoff, while climbing, the aircraft stalled and crashed 2 miles east of the airport. All four crew members were killed.
Crew:

During the takeoff roll, the aircraft skidded on runway but the crew was able to rotate. Just after liftoff, the aircraft stalled and crashed in flames. At least one crew member was killed.

Shortly after liftoff from Croydon Airport, while in initial climb, both engines failed simultaneously. The aircraft stalled and crashed on the Mitchley Avenue located in the suburb of Sanderstead. Four crew members were killed while three others were seriously injured.
