The airplane was involved in a local training flight at Manila-Intl Airport, carrying two passengers and a crew of three. While completing a go-around maneuver with one engine out, the pilot-in-command lost control of the airplane that stalled and crashed into several houses located near the airport. Both pilots and three people on the ground were killed while three other occupants were seriously injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

Shortly after takeoff from Manila Intl Airport, while in initial climb, the crew declared an emergency and informed ATC that an engine caught fire and exploded. The crew was cleared to return but as the captain realized he could not make it, he decided to attempt a belly landing in an open field located few km from the airport. The aircraft crash landed and slid for dozen metres before coming to rest. All 43 occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft and only two passengers were slightly injured. The aircraft was written off.

Shortly after takeoff from runway 30, while in initial climb, the crew informed ATC about the failure of the right engine and was cleared to return for an emergency landing. The pilot-in-command initiated a turn to join the runway 06 approach path when the airplane stalled and crashed in flames in a rice paddy field located 4,8 km from the airport. A passenger was seriously injured while 32 other occupants were killed. Few hours later, the only survivor died from his injuries.

Shortly after takeoff from runway 13 at Manila International Airport, while climbing, the right engine failed. The crew was cleared to return for an emergency landing and the captain completed a 180 turn when the airplane lost height. It was decided to attempt an emergency landing in a rice paddy field where the airplane crash landed. A passenger was killed while seven other occupants were injured.

The crew was completing a local training flight at Manila Intl Airport. After landing, the four engine airplane went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest. While all four crew members escaped uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Flight 6005 was a scheduled international cargo flight from San Francisco to Saigon with intermediate stops at Honolulu, Guam and Manila. The flight from San Francisco to Honolulu and Guam was uneventful. At 2125 hours GMT on 24 July 1971, the flight took off from Guam for Manila. Initial contact with the flight was established by Manila Control at 2400 hours and the controller provided the flight with the latest weather information for Manila. At 0013 hours the flight reported having passed Jamalig one minute before, being at 67 DME and out of FL 200. It was then handed over by Manila Control to Manila approach control. The approach controller cleared the flight to BA and provided the crew with the following weather information: wind 280°/20 kts, visibility 7 kms, light rain, cloud 3/8 at 4 000 ft and 8/8 at 9 000 ft. At 0018 hours the flight was cleared for a VOR/DME approach to Runway 24 from the Bangbang Intersection and one minute later the flight reported commencing the approach. At 0021 hours the flight reported 22 DME out of 5 000 ft for 4 000 ft and 20 seconds later reaching 4 200 ft. This was acknowledged by the controller who, thereafter was unable to establish contact with the flight. It was subsequently found that at approximately 0023 hours the aircraft collided with Mt Kamunay some 20 miles ENE of the Manila VOR, at an altitude of 2 525 ft. Witnesses residing near the scene of the accident testified that they had heard the sound of an aircraft which ceased in an explosion, followed by two other explosions, one immediately thereafter and the second one a little later. The aircraft was totally destroyed and all four crew members were killed.

On final approach to Manila Intl Airport, the crew failed to realize his altitude was too low when the airplane struck the ground and crashed in flames some 22 km from the runway 24 threshold. A crew member (steward) and a passenger were rescued while 45 other occupants were killed.

After touchdown at Manila Airport, the crew encountered difficulties to stop within the remaining distance. The airplane overran, lost its undercarriage and came to a halt 75 meters farter. All 31 occupants escaped without injuries while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While landing at Roscas, near Manila, the airplane suffered a gear collapse. There were no injuries but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was completing a local training flight at Sangley Point AFB and was simulating a hydraulic failure when the aircraft veered off runway on landing and crashed. All five crew members escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
