Shortly after takeoff from Richmond Airport, while climbing, the airplane crashed in unknown circumstances in Highland Springs, about two miles north of the airfield. The crew fate remains unknown.

An engine failed in flight, forcing the crew to make an emergency landing. The airplane belly landed in a desert area located about 8 miles northwest of El Paso and came to rest. There were no casualties.

Crashed on approach in poor weather conditions.

Shortly after liftoff, an engine failed. The airplane stalled and crashed. Crew fate remains unknown.

The aircraft had taken off from RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk at 0917LT for a Radar Navigation Flight which was to be followed by 4 hours of Air to Air refueling practice with a Boeing B-50. At 1103LT the aircraft was in contact with the controller at Prestwick, having entered the Scottish Flight Information Region, the pilot reported they were at a altitude of ~14,500 feet in visual conditions. Only 7 minutes later the aircraft was seen be witnesses on the ground descending out of cloud at 1,500 to 2,000 feet over Carsphairn on a NNW course. They stated that the engines sounded different to the aircraft which normally over-flew the area. The aircraft then turned onto a SE course before stalling and entering a spin from which it did not recover before impacted the ground in a deep gully at the edge of a field. The fuel tanks, containing an estimated 8,000 US Gallons exploded and completely destroyed the aircraft, scattering it over a considerable area.
