During a night approach to Cairo-Intl Airport, the crew initiated a go-around as the visibility was too low (400 meters). A second attempt to land few minutes later was also abandoned. The crew decided to divert to Luxor Airport where weather conditions were better. While approaching Luxor from the north, the crew declared an emergency due to low fuel when the aircraft lost height and crashed onto several houses located in the city of Karm Umran, about 45 km north of Luxor Airport runway 20 threshold. The aircraft was destroyed and all eight occupants were killed as well as one people on the ground.

The aircraft was chartered to carry 44 employees of a local knitting factory for a 15 minutes sightseeing flight over the Linfen Area. Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the left engine failed. The aircraft lost height, causing the left wing to struck a building. Upon impact, the left wing was partially torn off. The aircraft then collided with eight poplars and eventually crashed on an hotel. Four passengers were rescued while 44 others occupants as well as two people on the ground were killed.

One pilot and one engineer took off from Bogotá-El Dorado Airport on a post maintenance check flight. After takeoff, while completing a left turn, the pilot lost control of the airplane that crashed near residential area in Bogotá. Fortunately, both occupants were rescued and no one on ground was injured.

Shortly after takeoff from La Carlota-General Francisco de Miranda AFB, the airplane lots height and crashed on a textile mill, bursting into flames. All three crew members as well as one people on the ground were killed.

Witnesses stated that the aircraft used almost the entire length of the runway during the ground run. After rotation and gear retraction, it continued to climb in a nose high attitude to approximately 100-150 feet, then it started an approximately 20° bank to the right until it hit power lines and crashed into the top of a printing shop about 3/4 mile from the airport. Witnesses employed at the airport stated that the aircraft had been having undetermined problems with the right engine for a few weeks prior to the accident, but was still being flown and the right engine running extremely rough. All three occupants were killed.

The pilot was on a flight from Greeley to Denver, Colorado to obtain minor maintenance on a cargo door. As the aircraft was being vectored on final approach, the pilot reported that he believed the aircraft had fuel starvation. Subsequently, the aircraft was observed to make a complete roll and crash in a residential area. Only about 1.5 gallon of fuel was found in the right wing tank. The left wing and fuel tank were destroyed, but no odor of fuel was noted on the ground around the left wing. Also, a lack of fuel was noted in the fuel lines. The aircraft had not been refueled after the previous flight. The pilot that had flown the aircraft on a previous flight estimated there was 100 lbs of fuel remaining in each tank after his flight.

The flight was an air taxi cargo flight carrying truck parts. After takeoff, the tower asked the pilot if he was in difficulty and the pilot replied 'roger' and requested a change of flight plan. The aircraft was seen flying erratically just above the tree tops. The aircraft descended almost vertically into a residential area. The rear of one home was ignited by the impact and 2 occupants of the house were fatally burned. Post accident investigation revealed no engine malfunction but there were discrepancies in the load manifest and the aircraft weight and balance. Before takeoff a company employee watched the pilot secure the cargo with ropes nets and clips but did not help because he 'didn't know what the pilot was doing. 'Impact' damage precluded determination of the original placement and security of the cargo and any possible shifting prior to impact. The net weight on the cargo manifest did not include the weight of the trays to hold the parts. This was an omission of 150 lbs. Company personnel said no weight and balance information was left with them when the aircraft departed.

After takeoff from Charbatia AFB, while in initial climb, the crew declared an emergency after an engine caught fire. After being cleared to return, the captain initiated a turn while the fire spread to the nacelle and the wing. The aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in the district of Paikarapur. The aircraft and few houses were totally destroyed. All nine occupants as well as eight people on the ground were killed. 10 other people on the ground were injured.

The four engine aircraft was dispatched in Angola on behalf of the International Red Cross. En route from Kuito to Benguela, while climbing to an altitude of 12,000 feet, the aircraft was hit by a surface-to-air missile that struck the engine n°3. The aircraft entered a dive and crashed on the village of Cancao located about 40 km west of Kuito. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and at least eight houses were destroyed. All six occupants were killed as well as two other people on the ground.

The twin engine aircraft departed Southend Airport on a cargo flight to Bergamo, carrying newspapers and magazines. Two minutes and 30 seconds after liftoff, while climbing in limited visibility due to the night and low clouds, the airplane entered a dive and crashed on a garage, bursting into flames. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.
