On June 3, 2001 the float equipped Norseman sustained substantial damage during takeoff from a remote
tidal lake, about 28 miles southeast of Seward, Alaska. The airplane was operated by Bear Lake Air, Inc.,
Seward, Alaska. The pilot and five passengers were not injured. The flight departed Bear Lake, in Seward,
en route to the accident lake. The pilot reported that during the flight from Bear Lake, strong winds
and turbulence were encountered. He added that after landing at the accident lake he taxied to shore,
loaded his passengers, and briefed the passengers of the anticipated turbulence. He added that
he taxied the airplane to the farthest point on the lake that would allow the maximum amount of
takeoff run. He said that just after takeoff, about 150 feet above the water, a very strong gust
of wind pushed the nose of the airplane to the left. He applied full right rudder in an attempt to
regain control, but the nose of the airplane continued to the left, and the left wing stalled.
The pilot said: "The airplane just stopped flying, and we just fell from about 100 feet." As the
airplane's floats struck the surface of the lake, the left side of the fuselage buckled, and the
left wing struck the water. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage,
and minor damage to the left wing. Repaired;
Thomas Gayer [Ingram’s Air], Cooper’s Landing, Alaska, January 27, 2004;
in service by April 2006; Michael Renfro, Bethel, Alaska July 24, 2008.
On July 11, 2009 the aircraft sustained substantial damage following a loss of engine power and an
emergency landing about 300 feet short of the runway at the Akiachak Airport, Akiachak, Alaska.
The airplane was being operated by Renfro's Alaska Adventures, Bethel, Alaska. The pilot and sole
passenger were not injured. The aircraft was flying from Bethel to Tuluksak, Alaska, when the
engine started to run rough. The pilot diverted to Akiachak which was near his position. The
pilot said the engine quit completely, and he was unable to reach the runway. The airplane
collided with terrain about 300 feet short of the runway. The engine had been rebuilt about
100 flight hours prior to the accident, after developing problems following a previous rebuild.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage during the accident. An
internal examination of the engine by the NTSB showed that a locking screw had backed out of
one of the two anti-vibration counterweights on the crankshaft and scored the interior back
surface of the engine case. Current [Sep16].Still current Aug 2020 as N225BL and noted on
display in February 2020 inside the terminal at Sandspit, British Columbia

Disappeared over the English Channel on December 15, 1944 while en route from Bedford, England
to Paris, France. Band leader A. Glenn Miller was lost along with the pilot John Morgan and
Lt. Colonel Baessell. The pilot departed Abbots Ripton at about noon on the 15th with orders
to pick up his passengers at Twinwood Farm, a satellite to RAF Cranfield, located three miles
north of the centre of Bedford. After picking up Lt. Colonel Baessell and Major Miller, it
departed for Villacoublay, France in marginal conditions, with Bordeaux being the aircraft's
ultimate destination; Villacoublay was located some ten miles southwest of the centre of Paris.
The aircraft was never heard from again. No trace of the aircraft or its occupants has ever been found.
Speculation about the demise of Glenn Miller has included the theory that he was captured and tortured to death by the Nazis. The USAAF blamed
the accident on mechanical failure caused by pilot error and bad weather. One theory is that the plane was lost by straying
into a forbidden zone in mid-channel which was designated for the jettisoning of surplus ordnance.
On its east bound channel leg the Norseman flew directly under 139 RAF Lancasters flying in the
opposite direction. The Lancasters were returning from a scrubbed mission in France and were
ordered to dump their bombs in the water. Two airmen, both now deceased, witnessed the accident.
The Lancaster's navigator had never witnessed a bomb drop on any of his missions and changed
positions to see one. He said "I had never seen a bombing before, so I crawled from my navigator’s
seat and put my head in the observation blister. I saw a small high wing mono-plane, a Noorduyn
Norseman, underneath. I told the rear gunner there's a kite down there. There's a kite gone in!
and he said he saw it too." But this theory has been disputed.

The mission went smoothly until they approached Gardermoen, near Oslo. There was little snow
at the airport, and the crew therefore decided to land on the ice at the northern end of Hurdalsjøen.
After landing, the aircraft was taxied back along the same track but after about 75 meters
the aircraft broke through thin ice. The passengers were rescued and all four people on board
were uninjured. The tail section was torn off, the aircraft salvaged to Gardermoen.

On May 14, 1981, while on floats, the aircraft was being flown on a ferry permit to Selkirk, Manitoba
for C of A renewal. The engine failed shortly after takeoff near Libau, Manitoba and a forced
landing attempted on a fallow field. The floats struck an elevated road on approach and the
float brackets failed. The aircraft came to rest on its right wing and left float. Failure was
blamed on fuel starvation due to a blockage caused by corrosion in the fuel selector valve.
Inspection revealed numerous discrepancies which rendered the aircraft unfit for flight.

about 5.5km southwest of Tierp 29Jun49. During air combat training, the pilot of 26142
observed that the indicator light for the landing gear was red. He interrupted the exercise
then raised and lowered the landing gear, whereupon he again found that the indicator light was red.
He asked the pilot of 26123 to check the landing gear; he could not see anything abnormal. This pilot
replied that his light was still on. The other pilot gave a signal that he perceived the message and
from behind went under airplane 26142, probably with the intention of repeating the check.
In doing so, the airplanes collided, possibly caused by suction from being too close. This pilot
received minor injuries and was able to return to land safely at Uppsala. Aircraft 26123 was badly
damaged in a forced landing from which the pilot died of his injuries. Sold to AB Henry Wallenberg & Co 16Oct54.

Modified for photo-reconnaissance, unofficially designated S 26. Crashed when the pilot bailed out
after engine failure in a bog on the gunnery range Vidsel at lake Tjäura 40km southwest of Jokkmokk 8Oct52.
The pilot was on a reconnaissance flight along F 21 low-flying routes. The engine lost power 10km
northwest of Tjäru at an altitude of 100 meters. The pilot then tried to climb to reach a higher altitude;
the increased effect on the engine caused severe vibration while smoke began to come from the
right side of the engine. He shut down the engine and bailed out at an altitude of about 150 meters.
He landed safely but, in a remote area with sub-zero temperatures, he needed warm clothes which
were later dropped from another aircraft. SOC 19Nov52. Salvaged 1998/99; stored at Luleå. Rebuilt to

Crashed after a mid-air collision with J 26, 26142 [44-72059] at Odensfors, about 5.5km southwest
of Tierp 29Jun49 (1KIS). During air combat training, the pilot of 26142 observed that the indicator
light for the landing gear was red. He interrupted the exercise then raised and lowered the
landing gear, whereupon he again found that the indicator light was red. He asked the pilot of 26123
to check the landing gear; he could not see anything abnormal. The other pilot replied that his light
was still on. This pilot gave a signal that he perceived the message and from behind went under
airplane 26142, probably with the intention of repeating the check. In doing so, the airplanes
collided, possibly caused by suction from being too close. The other pilot received minor injuries
and was able to return to land safely at Uppsala. This airplane had the right part of the stabilizer
and the right rudder half torn away. The pilot tried to make an emergency landing but the airplane
was probably unstable due to the reduced rudder and stabilizer surface. After sliding on the ground,
the airplane passed over a river and struck the opposite river bank. The pilot was injured so badly
that he died shortly afterwards

F 16 Wing, Uppsala. Crashed at Lake Varpan, 5km north of Falun 16Feb51 (1KIS). It was a Friday and
the basic training battalion of the Kungliga Dalregementet / Royal Regiment was on its way home
from a week of field service training at Haghed, about 20km north of Falun. Throughout the week,
a joint exercise with F 16 making attacks on ground troops had taken place. During the first part of
the week, the minimum permitted flight altitude had been exceeded on several occasions and,
according to newspaper reports, the Mustangs flew at chimney height in a nearby district; birches
and flagpoles were broken; dives were made against school children in Sundborn, even against
horse riders in the forest. In the vicinity of Lake Runn, to the south of Falun, a flight of Mustangs
was ordered to wait while another flight carried out practice attacks. After about 20 minutes,
a change took place, after which the pilot of this Mustang carried out five or six attacks against targets
on the ground. Eventually, an attack was made on the front of the battalion on the outskirts of Falun.
The exercise command was stationed at the crossroads in Österås, just over a kilometre north of the
battalion's platoon, when aircraft engine noise, followed by a loud bang, was heard. The Mustang had
come down at too low an altitude, hitting the treetops and crashing into the forest. The plane plowed a
wide swathe in the forest and the pilot was killed. SOC 1Mar51

To RCAF Feb 8, 1951 as 9289. Declared surplus Jul 1958. To civilian registry as N6526D, N551VC with
Button Transportation, Inc, Dixon, CA. Crashed with major damage at Richmond, VA Feb 15, 1962. Converted
to two-seat configuration at some stage since 1958. Crashed on takeoff at Olympia, WA Mar 19, 1977,
killing both pilot and passenger. Rebuilt using fuselage of N6526D
AURI airframe. At one time it was modified as a racer named Voodoo Chile (N551VC).
According to some sources, N6526D was acquired by the RAF Museum and for
many years and was displayed at Hendon painted as '413573'; it has the RAF
'bookkeeping' identity 9133M (as the aircraft is nominally on RAF charge, it
must have an RAF serial - such 'bookkeeping' identities are allocated from
the 'M-suffix' series normally allocated to airframes relegated to ground
instructional duties). It has recently been moved from Hendon to the RAF
Museum at Cosford. It was ceremoniously handed over to the RAF Museum Apr 20, 1989
at RAF Halton. I have seen a photo of N551VC taken in 2009, so the plane at the RAF
Museum might not be 44-73415. Still active as N551VD, named "Voodoo" ant took part in 2013 Reno Air Races.
Reported in 2020 registered as N6526D (so might this and N551VC be different airframes?); reported now in store
at RAF Museum, Cosford, England. Noted April 2017 in storage at RAF Museum, Cosford painted in USAAF 357th FG
colours as ‘413573’ with code ‘B6-V’ and name ‘Isabel III’.

The true identity of FAS 404 has been a long-time mystery, although some sources
claim it to be former USAAF 44-73458. Indeed, the wreckage of this airframe was acquired by a Jack W. Flaherty
(Flaherty Factors Inc, Monterey, CA) on Oct. 28, 1974, however, the problem with this serial number is that FAS 404
was shot down over Honduran territory on July 17, 1969 by Capt. Fernando Soto Henríquez. Only bits and pieces of
this Salvadoran Cavalier were recovered from the crash site. A second Salvadoran Mustang was given
serial 404, sometime after the July 1969 conflict with Honduras, which could be airframe 44-73458.

de Cuba November 18, 1958 as 401. Secetly delivered to Cuba and arrived Mayari Arriba November 23, 1958.
The F-51D was fired upon on arrival. On the morning of November 23, two Cuban F-47 Thunderbolts had attacked
the base; when the Mustangs appeared over Mayari Arriba, ground defenses thought the base was one again under
attack and opened fire. On December 28, 1958 the FAR was ordered to fly the aircraft to a recently-captured airfield in
Imias. On January 1, 1959, word of Batista's defeat came through and the aircraft did not fly in combat.
Transfered to Columbia airfield in Havana. On April 15, 1961, aerial attacks preceded the Bay of Pigs invasion.
During these attacks, the Mustang was damaged. Repairs were undertaken immediately, but by April 20 the fighting was
already over. The Mustang remained in active FAR service until June 1961 when the first Soviet-supplied MiG-15bis
were delivered to Cuba. It was then written off. Preserved and displayed at the Museo de la Revolucion, Havana 1963.
Museo Central de la Fuerza Aerea Revolucionaria, Camaguey, Havana 1986. Renamed Museo del Aire, Havana 2008.
In August 2010, the museum was closed, and the aircraft was moved to San Antonio de los Baños Air Base.

The airframe that has become N5500S and flying as 44-63655, is actually 44-74543, ex RCAF 9252
ex N4543. There was some paperwork problem concerning the aircraft that made it too difficult
to sell it and get it on the civil register with a bill of sale. While it was still in storage
in up-state New York, it was owned by Richard Vartanian, who also came across the paperwork
problem. Another Mustang that was sold out of the FAN, 44-63655, has been incorrectly identified
as ex Swedish AF, but that is wrong. It was mixed with another Mustang with a similar serial
number. It was registered as N6153U and crashed on a ferry flight from Nicaragua to the USA.
The owner at the time was MACO Corp, of Chicago. The wrecked N6153U was scrapped and no longer
existed. RCAF 9252 was brought back to Chicago and changed it to N5500S with serial 44-63655.
This was later sold to Chuck Greenhill of Kenosha, WI, who still owns it.

Accident Jun 27, 1945 after turning onto runway No 22 Kingsford Smith Aerodrome (Mascot) commenced take-off and reached 40 mph
when a cross wind gust( stated 57mph) lifted the starboard wing up, causing the aircraft to swing to port. The pilot straightened the aircraft and
tried to take-off at 100mph which was insufficient to remain airborne. Another gust of wind hit the aircraft causing the aircraft to again swing to port.
The pilot at this stage closed the engine throttles, touched down and attempted to stop the aircraft with the brakes. The slippery nature of
the aerodrome surface prevented the tyres to grip, with the aircraft overshooting the end of the runway into an embankment at a ground
speed of 20 mph, causing the undercarriage to collapse. No injuries.

serial XF645 by Ministry of Supply for military trooping contracts 1954; crashed on
Croglin Fell, Cumberland in the North Pennines whilst on route to Crosby on Eden
on the 17th October 1961. The aircraft had been chartered to fly a party of farmers
and agricultural workers from Crosby on Eden near Carlisle to Speke, Liverpool so
they could visit the Lever Brothers Farm in Flintshire. The crew first had to fly the
aircraft from Yeadon to Crosby, an airfield that none of them had flown to before.
The weather in the Carlisle area during the 17th October 1961 was fairly poor with
strong winds and continuous moderate to heavy rain in the Carlisle area. The pilot
of the aircraft turned onto the correct course towards the airport but shortly
after turned SW and then eastward before heading SE away from the airfield,
within a couple of minutes the aircraft struck the northern side of Croglin Fell.
Both wings and engines were torn off and the fuselage badly damaged. All four onboard killed.

since the first civilian logbook that popped up after the war states 44-79580 but airframe S/N or MSN 11883.
According the manufacturer records of Clyde Smith (Piper Cub), MSN 11883 belongs to 44-79587.
