Orlando

The crew departed Orlando, Florida, on an illegal flight to Algarrobo, Magdalena. In unknown circumstances, the aircraft crashed in the department of Cesar. The aircraft was destroyed and both occupants (two US citizens) were killed.

While approaching West Palm Beach on a flight from Orlando, both engines failed simultaneously. The captain reduced his altitude and attempted an emergency landing on a highway when he saw the presence of a truck. To avoid a collision, he made a sharp maneuver when the airplane crashed. All 33 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On final approach to Treasure Cay Airport, the twin engine airplane went out of control and crashed into the sea few miles offshore. The aircraft was lost and the pilot, sole on board, was killed.

En route from Orlando to Atlanta, while cruising by night, the crew reported to ATC that a fire erupted in the cabin and requested the permission to divert to the nearest airport. Shortly later, the airplane went out of control and crashed in flames in a prairie located in Alma, Georgia. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and both crew members were killed. Prior to the crash the fire was observed by ground witnesses when it burned through the fuselage, allowing burning cargo and debris to be scattered over a large area. After making several left circles, the burning aircraft plunged to the ground.

Crashed on landing and damaged beyond repair. There were no fatalities.

Following a navigational training exercise, the airplane departed Orlando in the evening of February 18 to return to base at Kearney, Nebraska. En route, weather conditions were poor and over Kansas, while low on fuel, the crew decided to divert to Smoky Hill AFB, Salina. Due to limited visibility, the crew failed to realize he was approaching Hutchinson Airport which is located 90 km south southwest of Salina. In a zero visibility approach, the airplane impacted the ground and crashed, killing the entire crew.
