with the airplane's global positioning system (GPS). Repairs to the unit were made and the
pilot departed the airport. Approximately 10 minutes after the departure, local authorities
received notification of a downed airplane east of the airport. The airplane collided with
rising terrain approximately five miles east of the airport. Witnesses reported hearing the
airplane fly up the valley east of the airport. One witness stated the airplane was
running ".. smooth, strong and easy", but didn't seem to be "pulling�. A second witness reported
the airplane was flying low up the valley and the engine was running smooth. Post accident
examination of the airplane's engine revealed no evidence to indicate a mechanical failure
that would have resulted in a loss of engine power. Registration cancelled 8Dec04 on export to USA..

aircraft nosed over as the pilot tried to correct the ground loop. Confederate Air Force,
Harlingen/Midland, TX, 1986. Damaged 9Jan88 when the engine quit on initial climb out caused by
fuel starvation with air in the fuel system. The aircraft landed back at Oxnard, CA with the landing gear
retracted. The aircraft experienced a total loss of engine power during cruise flight at 3,800 feet 2Dec93.
The pilot made a forced landing in a dry river bed about two miles east of Santa Paula, California.
During rollout, the airplane collided with vegetation and was substantially damaged. The flight originated
from Camarillo, California. The pilot reported that during the flight all systems appeared to operate
normally, and the fuel and oil pressures were within normal operating limits. Suddenly, he detected
a "very strong smell of aviation gasoline and the engine stopped running�. The pilot stated that he
attempted to restart the engine, but was not successful. The pilot further reported that he did not have
sufficient altitude to glide to any airport, so he made an emergency landing in a nearby river bed.
The airplane's carburettor was examined. The engine stoppage had resulted from it having been flooded
with excessive fuel, the cause of the flooding related to the improper functioning of the carburettor�s needle
valve pin. Operated by the Commemorative Air Force, Southern California Wing, Camarillo Airport, Camarillo, CA.

Post flight inspection of the aircraft's left landing gear down lock pin revealed it to be in the unlocked
position. Approximately five minutes later, with the aircraft's left wing still on the ground, the left gear
down lock pin was observed to slowly extend to its locked position. On later inspection, with the aircraft
raised on jacks, the gear-lock mechanism functioned properly. Upon removing the lock-pin and spring,
small flakes of hard chrome were detected from around the aft of housing-bore and lock-pin.

Monroeville, PA 14Aug65. The left rudder cable failed precluding proper operation of the brakes
and the aircraft overshot the runway, colliding with trees. Crashed at Redcliffe, CO 15Aug86 (2 fatalities).
Witnesses reported that the aircraft flew near their house at a very low altitude, then climbed in the
direction of the sun to clear over a bridge. Moments later, the aircraft collided with power lines that
were suspended between two towers. The towers were located on top of rock formations near the
bridge and were 1027ft apart. Impact with the lines occurred near where they drooped to their
lowest point about 250' agl. After hitting the power lines, the aircraft continued to fly, but the
pilot was unable to maintain altitude. The aircraft subsequently crashed into trees on mountainous
terrain. Substantially damaged at Lake County Airport (LXV), Leadville, CO 5Sep08. During take-off the
engine did not produce full power. The airplane drifted to the right and the pilot attempted to correct
with the application of left rudder and aileron control. The airplane became airborne and the
left wing contacted the ground. The airplane settled back to the ground and headed towards the
left side of the runway, at which time the pilot elected to abort the take-off. The airplane became
airborne one additional time, departed the runway environment to the left, and impacted several
trees. Both leading edges were crushed aft, crushing multiple ribs, and wrinkling the leading edge skin.
Several stringers and both sides of the horizontal stabilizer sustained impact damage.
Density altitude at the time of the accident was estimated to be 11,570 feet

power lines on long final to land at Franklin, NC 15Jun83. The aircraft experienced a loss of
control in flight while maneuvering near Woodward Field, Camden, South Carolina 6Sep97.
The airplane was operated by the Western North Carolina Air Museum. The pilot and his passenger
were fatally injured, and the airplane was destroyed. The flight originated from Woodward Field.
A friend of the pilot stated he was on the last flight of the day after giving rides in the airplane all
day at an airshow. The accident flight was a personal flight in which the pilot was taking the
passenger for a ride to thank him for his help throughout the day. According to the witness,
the aircraft was topped off before a previous flight, and he estimated the aircraft had between
80 and 85 gallons of fuel onboard. Two witnesses in the area observed a low flying airplane
which was doing steep turns, approximately 60 - 70 degrees of bank. They heard the airplane
engine "begin missing". Ten seconds later, the engine quit. During this time, the pilot remained
in a left bank. According to the witnesses, "after the airspeed deteriorated, the aircraft snapped,
and rolled to the right and entered a right hand spin". They observed two full rotations before the
airplane disappeared behind the trees. During the second rotation, they believed the engine restarted
and was running at full power upon impact. Another witness in the area heard the airplane in the
area of her house. After hearing it for some time, she heard complete silence. Shortly thereafter,
she heard two "pops" and saw a trail of black smoke from behind the trees. Registered 31Jan07 to

[Also reported as BuAer 84946, MSN 88-16867]
Registered as N12377; current [Jan20]. Damaged when ground looped during the landing rollout at
Panola County Airport, Batesville, MS 5May66. The T-6 collided with a parked Cessna 172G N3843L
during the landing rollout. The Cessna was substantially damaged. During a night straight-in approach
at Pacoima, CA 2Oct89 the aircraft collided with an unlighted pole 41 foot AGL, 1700 feet short of
the threshold. The pilot stated that the visual cues he was using outside the cockpit were inadequate
for his night time approach. After the collision the pilot executed a go-around and returned to
Van Nuys Airport, Los Angeles, CA. Crashed following a loss of control during initial climb after
take-off from Kingsville Naval Air Station (NQI), Kingsville, Texas 25Apr18. The pilot and
passenger were fatally injured and the airplane was destroyed. The pilot requested a right
hand teardrop turn for a departure toward the north. The witnesses reported seeing the airplane
in a steep right bank with some witnesses reporting that the bank angle exceeded 90 degrees of bank.
The airplane descended nose low and the right bank angle lessened before the airplane struck the
ground. Both wings separated with the right wing coming to rest at the east edge of the pavement for
taxiway B. The fuselage came to rest on its right side about 30 feet west of the right wing.
The left wing came to rest about 100 feet further west. The airplane's engine separated from the fuselage
and the supercharger section of the engine separated from the cylinder section. Control system
continuity from the elevator and rudder was confirmed from the surfaces forward to their respective
cockpit controls. The aileron control system had numerous cable breaks, however, each identified
cable break was consistent with overload failure of the cables. The removable rear cockpit control
stick was found lying on the ramp adjacent to the airplane. Examination could not confirm if the
stick had been installed in its socket prior to impact

89452 to French Navy / A�ronavale as 89452. Flottille 9 F [code 9 F-15], Arromanches (R95). From October 1952,
the heart of the operations of the Indochina War moved to the west. This region was dotted with isolated
French posts scattered on both sides of the Black River. After the fall of Nghia-Lo and the retreat
of Bigeard, missions were concentrated around the entrenched camp of Na-San where had been gathered the
French land elements until then scattered in the Upper Region. The night bombardments of the Privateers
of the 8 F flotilla and the actions of aircraft from the Arromanches ensured a permanence of naval
aeronautics over the area and finally forced the Viet-Minh to lift the siege of Na-San. It was during
these operations that the Helldiver departed for a reconnaissance mission in Haut-Laos and disappeared 19Dec52 (2MIA).
