Upon landing at Chevak, the right main gear collapsed. The airplane veered off runway and came to a halt. All nine occupants escaped uninjured but the aircraft was considered as damaged beyond repair.

Upon landing at Elusive Lake near Barrow, the amphibian plane bounced, went out of control, crashed and sank. Both occupants were killed.

During the takeoff roll at Adak Airport, the pilot-in-command pull the control column and started to rotate when the copilot reported a technical problem (smoke hatch blew open). The crew decided to abort the takeoff procedure and started an emergency braking manoeuvre. Few seconds later, the airplane veered off runway to the left and struck an obstacle, causing the right wing to be torn off. The airplane came to rest in flames down an embankment. All eight crew members escaped with minor injuries while the aircraft was destroyed.

The pilot departed Anchorage on a survey flight to Kantishna, taking part to a SAR mission after a helicopter was missing. On approach to Mt McKinley, the airplane went out of control and crashed onto a slope of the the mountain. The wreckage was found a day later and the pilot was killed.

Upon landing on runway 06L at Anchorage-Intl Airport, the right main gear collapsed. The airplane went out of control, veered off runway to the right and came to rest in flames. All four occupants were injured, two of them seriously, and the aircraft was totally destroyed by a post crash fire.

Shortly after takeoff from the bay of Craig, while in initial climb, the pilot completed a first turn when control was lost. The single engine airplane stalled and crashed into the sea few dozen yards offshore. The aircraft sank and all nine occupants were killed.

On final approach to Lake Minchumina Airport, the pilot encountered whiteout conditions and lost control of the airplane that crashed few dozen metres short of runway. A passenger was killed while four other occupants were injured.

The crew was returning to Shemya following a reconnaissance mission. After touchdown on an icy runway, the airplane encountered difficulties to stop within the remaining distance, overran and came to rest few dozen yards farther. While the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, all 18 occupants were evacuated safely.

The aircraft christened 'Clipper Racer' departed San Francisco on a cargo flight to Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam with en route stops at Elmendorf AFB, Tokyo and Đà Nẵng. Because of below minima weather at Anchorage International Airport, the aircraft landed at Elmendorf AFB. Several delays were experienced before the flight taxied out at 06:02. Flight 799 was given a void time of 06:15 by Oceanic Control to avoid traffic conflict. If the crew failed to make that time, it would result in a 45 min delay. When the checklist item "wing flaps" was called, the 'follow me' truck arrived to guide them to runway 23. From then on the crew were busy steering the plane on the slippery taxiways and talking to Oceanic Control resp. The aircraft was cleared for takeoff at 06:14. The stick shaker sounded shortly after VR (154 kts). The aircraft rotated climbed slowly. The right wing contacted the snow covered ground 94 feet left of the extended centerline at a distance of 2760 feet from the runway. The aircraft rolled inverted and broke up.

During the final approach completed by night, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with snow falls. At an altitude of 200 feet, the pilot-in-command lost sight of the runway and decided to attempt a go-around when the airplane struck obstacles and crashed short of runway. Two crew members were killed while two others were injured.
