The aircraft was destroyed.

The crew was completing a training mission our from Walker AFB by night when the tail broke off in turbulence. Four crew members ejected before the aircraft crashed into the Sangre de Christo Mountain Range, some 10 miles northwest of Mora. Two crew members were killed.

The crew was completing a humanitarian flight to Agana, carrying various goods and materials for the locals who suffered from the recent typhoon christened 'Karen'. On approach, the crew did not realize the aircraft was too low when it struck the top of a hill located 6,8 km short of runway threshold. The aircraft was destroyed, three crew were killed and five others were injured.

The crew was involved in a local training mission at Smyrna-Sewart AFB, Tennessee. Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the airplane banked left, lost height and crashed near the runway end. All five crew members were killed.

On final approach to Robins AFB, the four engine aircraft went out of control and crashed in flames short of runway 32 threshold. One occupant survived while five others were killed.

The crew was dispatched from Saigon to Đắk Tô Airport to deliver various goods and supplies. After touchdown at Đắk Tô Airfield, the airplane struck a concrete block in the center of the runway, lost its undercarriage and came to rest. All six crew members were unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It was reported the crew was supposed to land at the old Đắk Tô Airfield but was mistakenly dispatched at the new airport of Đắk Tô which was not already open to traffic while still under construction.

On final approach to Guantánamo Bay NAS, the aircraft was too low. One of the wing struck the ground 1,000 feet short of runway 09 threshold. Out of control, the aircraft crashed in flames, killing all seven crew members.

The crew started the descent to Fairchild AFB and the pilot-in-command completed a turn to the right to join the approach path for runway 23. At this time, weather conditions were good with a 25 miles visibility and few clouds down to 1,000 feet. Too low, the four engine aircraft struck trees and crashed in a wooded area located on the slope of Mt Kit Carson (1,320 meters high) located 30 miles northeast of Fairchild AFB. The aircraft was totally destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire and all 44 occupants were killed.

Suffered a ground accident at Oakland Airport. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.
