Summerside

The crew was completing a training mission out of Summerside Airport. Upon landing, the airplane went out of control, veered off runway and collided with a parked Nordair Lockheed L-188 Electra registered CF-NAZ. Both aircraft were destroyed and three crew members were killed. The Electra was empty at the time of the accident. It is believed that the loss of control was the consequence of landing gear problems.

The crew was engaged in a local training flight at Summerside Airfield, PE. On approach, an engine as well as the power generator of the second engine. The pilot initiated a go around procedure and activated the auxiliary J-34 jets but it failed to respond properly. The airplane stalled and crash landed in a snow covered field, slid for few hundred metres and came to rest short of runway, bursting into flames. All occupants escaped unhurt while the airplane was destroyed by fire.

The twin engine airplane departed Summerside on a routine navigation exercise. While cruising over the Gulf of St Lawrence, the starboard engine cut out after the crew changed tanks. The pilot was unable to maintain a safe altitude on one engine so he decided to ditch the airplane off Magdalen Islands. All four crew members took to their dinghy and were rescued by a boat after having been sighted by a searching aircraft. The airplane sank within 20 minutes and was lost.
