The pilot, sole on board, was completing a cargo flight from Detroit to Valdosta. While descending, he realize the fuel reserve was insufficient and decided to divert to Albany when one engine failed due to fuel exhaustion. In poor weather conditions due to fog, the airplane struck trees and crashed few miles from the airfield. The pilot was injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Both engines failed simultaneously in flight. The pilot reduced his altitude and attempted an emergency landing when the aircraft crashed in flames on a golf course located near Macon. The aircraft was totally destroyed and all four occupants were killed.

Air South Flight 168 departed Atlanta at 21:07. At 21:13 the flight reported level at its assigned cruising altitude of 7,000 feet. The Beech had been cruising for eleven minutes when it attained a gradual nose down attitude due to a change in the longitudinal trim. The pilots noticed the change after about six seconds and initiated a recovery action. The horizontal stabilizer continued to move to a full nose down position. Excessive pulling force on the control column was necessary to recover from the high speed dive. The necessary stick forces for such an out-of-trim condition can exceed the capability of one pilot, and in some cases two pilots, to control. The Beech continued to descend until both wings failed at high speed, just before the airplane crashed into the ground in a near vertical attitude.

Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, one of the engine failed. The pilot lost control of the airplane that crashed in a field located past the runway end. A passenger was seriously injured while three other occupants were killed.

While in cruising altitude, on a positioning flight, the landing gear were lowered and the flaps were positioned to a full down angle. The twin engine airplane entered an uncontrolled descent until it crashed near Calhoun. Both occupants were killed.

While in cruising altitude, the pilot lost control of the airplane that entered a dive and eventually crashed into a lake located near Acworth, Georgia. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot, sole on board, was killed. The airplane was owned by C. W. Matthews.

While in cruising altitude, one of the engine failed while the second lost power. The crew decided to reduce his altitude and attempted an emergency landing on a beach located in Dorchester. The aircraft completed a wheels-up landing and came to rest into the sea. Both pilots were uninjured while the aircraft was lost.

The crew departed a temporary airstrip for a local training mission with three other similar aircraft. While in formation, the aircraft collided in unknown circumstances with a second Caribou registered 63-9749 carrying also three crew members. Both aircraft went out of control and crashed in a prairie located 18 miles south of Augusta. All six crew members in both airplanes were killed.

On final approach to Atlanta-DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, both engines failed simultaneously. The pilot lost control of the airplane that stalled and crashed in Norcross, about 6 miles northeast of the airfield. Two passengers were killed while five other occupants were injured.
