Safety history

  • March 25, 1969AccidentHull loss

    During the takeoff roll at Loring AFB, the crew encountered technical issues with the water injection system and the captain decided to abort. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran, went down an embankment and came to rest in flames, broken in two. All seven occupants were rescued while the aircraft was destroyed. Probable cause (official findings): Failure of the water injection system due to frozen water.
