All Saint Lucia

Following an uneventful flight from Bridgetown-Grantley Adams Airport, the pilot landed at Castries-George F. L. Charles (Vigie) Airport. Upon touchdown, the left main gear collapsed. The aircraft veered off runway and came to rest against a fence. The pilot was uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

After takeoff, while climbing, the crew informed ATC about an engine failure and was cleared to return for an emergency landing. The airplane went out of control and crashed near the airport, bursting into flames. All three crew members were killed.

On approach to Hewanorra Airport on a charter flight from Toronto, the crew encountered windshear conditions. The airplane remained stable and while passing over the runway threshold, the copilot retarded the throttles when, at a height of six meters, the airplane stalled and struck the runway surface. The nose gear was torn off and the airplane slid for about 700 meters before coming to rest. All 171 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While cruising by night on a flight from Castries to Hewanorra, the twin engine airplane struck the slope of Mt Gimie (950 meters high) located in the center of the island. The wreckage was found a day later and all four occupants have been killed. The flight was operated by the Compagnie Antillaise de Transport Aérien (CATA) on behalf of Sun Island Air Services.

The twin engine airplane was lost without trace while on a maritime patrol flight off the island of Saint Lucia.

While taxiing at Beane Field, the twin engine airplane collided with a second USAAF Douglas B-18 Bolo registered 37-588. There were no injuries while both airplanes were damaged beyond repair.
