New York

As the crew was 12 minutes behind the schedule, he decided to start the takeoff procedure from an intersection and the departure was precipitated despite ATC warned the crew about the recent takeoff of a Boeing 707 from the same runway. Just after liftoff, while in initial climb, the airplane became unstable then stalled and crashed. Both pilots and a passenger were killed while 11 other occupants were injured, some of them seriously.

On final approach to runway 19 at Albany Airport, the crew encountered poor visibility due to low ceiling, rain and fog. On short final, the airplane was too low and crashed into the Mohawk River located about 1,2 mile short of runway threshold. Two passengers were killed while four other occupants were injured.

Just after a night liftoff at New York-JFK Airport, while in initial climb, the twin engine airplane went out of control and crashed. The pilot was slightly injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

On final approach to Norwich-Lieutenant Eaton Airport, one of the engine failed. The crew increased power on the remaining engine when the airplane stalled and crashed in an open field. Both occupants were quickly rescued while the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.

Shortly after takeoff from Griffiss AFB, while climbing, the crew encountered technical problems with both engines number 5 & 6 which overheated. They were apparently shut down and the captain decided to return for a safe landing and was vectored for an ILS approach to runway 15. While descending to an altitude of 2,000 feet, the airplane became unstable and went out of control when two of the crew members ejected. The aircraft then crashed few miles from the airbase and was destroyed, killing all six crew members who remained on board.

While in cruising altitude, one of the engine failed. The pilot lost control of the airplane that entered a dive, spiralled into the ground and crashed in an open field located near Johnson City. The aircraft was destroyed and all five occupants were killed. The airplane was owned by S. J. Groves.

The crew started the descent to Endicott-Tri Cities Airport by night and poor weather conditions consisting of fog, rain falls and low clouds. On approach, the twin engine aircraft was too low, struck tree tops and crashed few miles short of runway threshold. Both pilots and a passenger were killed while two passengers were seriously injured.

While cruising at an altitude of 15,500 feet over Holmdel, New Jersey, the aircraft suffered an explosive decompression of the cabin. A 60 by 125 inches 'panel' detached from the fuselage and struck the engine number three, causing the detachment of its propeller. The crew started an emergency descent and was able to complete an emergency landing at New York Airport. All 14 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was later declared as damaged beyond repair.

The crew was completing a training mission in the region of New York State. While descending to Westchester County Airport, he encountered poor weather conditions (fog) and decided to follow a holding pattern. Few minutes later, both engines failed simultaneously. The aircraft lost height then crashed in flames in a field located in Armonk, some four miles north of Westchester County. The aircraft was destroyed and all three occupants were killed.

While rolling on a taxiway, the nose gear collapsed and the airplane sank on its belly and came to rest. All three technicians on board were uninjured while the aircraft christened 'Star of Chillon' was considered as damaged beyond repair.
