Safety history

  • July 16, 1966Accident

    Shortly after takeoff from Jacksonville-Towers Field NAS, while climbing, the crew informed ATC about the failure of the left engine that caught fire. Smoke spread in the cockpit and the cabin so all 34 occupants bailed out and parachuted to safety. The airplane dove into the ground and crashed near the airbase. Probable cause (official findings): The left engine caught fire after takeoff.
