List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (2000–2009)

This is a list of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft grouped by the year in which the accident or incident occurred. Not all of the aircraft were in operation at the time. For more exhaustive lists, see the baaa-acro.com archives[1] or the aviation-safety.net database.[2] Combat losses are not included except for a very few cases denoted by singular circumstances.

Aircraft terminology Edit

Information on aircraft gives the type, and if available, the serial number of the operator in italics, the constructors number, also known as the manufacturer's serial number (c/n), exterior codes in apostrophes, nicknames (if any) in quotation marks, flight callsign in italics, and operating units.

For this list, the criteria used for a military aircraft will be: any fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft that is operated by a governmental organization such as United States Department of Defense or British Armed Forces in either combat or non-combat missions. The aircraft will fall into categories such as fighter, bomber, attack, search and rescue, transport or training.

James A. Duricy, assigned to the 40th Test Squadron, 46th Test Wing. His body is never recovered.

A section of the leading edge, approximately 6 X 3 feet, broke away.[39] "The doomed F-15C was flying at 24,000 feet when part of its tail broke off. Maj. James A.

Major Pepin stated that the incident will be investigated in days to come by an Air Force safety board, "In any case where there's an incident that involves aircraft safety to ensure that whatever happened in this incident we can avoid next time."

January Edit

18 January
During a training flight, a United States Air Force Cessna T-37B, 66-8003, Cider 21, of the 89th Flying Training Squadron, 80th Flying Training Wing collides in midair with a civilian Air Tractor AT-502B, registration number N8526M, on a cross-country ferry flight over unpopulated ranch land near Hollister, Oklahoma, USA; both aircraft spiral out of control, 2 aircrew in T-37 eject, 1 suffers minor injuries, pilot and sole occupant of N8526M is killed. Both aircraft were operating under visual flight rules (VFR) at an altitude of 5,000 ft (1,520 m) at ~1128 hrs. in conditions reported as hazy and overcast; the AT-502B pilot had not established radio contact with air traffic control, and his aircraft was not equipped with a transponder, but neither was required for VFR operation in Class [Category] E airspace. The crash is primarily attributed to the failure of the pilots to "see and avoid" conflicting air traffic during VFR flight. Investigators conclude that the aircraft collided at an angle of approximately 100 degrees, and a USAF Aerospace Physiologist determines that the AT-502B's left roll cage/door structure created a blind spot that occluded the T-37B from the AT-502B's pilot's line of sight, but the T-37B's right canopy bow did not produce a blind spot for the T-37B pilots. Contributing factors included the lack of a transponder and radios on the AT-502B and the reduced visibility due to haze. Additionally, the USAF report notes that the AT-502B was flying at an inappropriate altitude for its compass heading, as visual flight rules called for cruise flight at an odd or even altitude plus 500 ft (152 m); however, given the pilot's high level of VFR experience, USAF investigators surmise that he was transitioning to a proper altitude at the time, but this hypothesis cannot be confirmed.[91][92][93] This accident is a rare example of a midair collision in daylight VFR conditions during cruise flight distant from an airport.

Sukhoi Su-33 landing on the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov at 1627 hrs. gets the trap, but arresting wire breaks and the fighter goes off the deck into the North Atlantic, pilot Sub Colonel Yuri Korneev ejecting immediately. Jet sinks in ~1,000 metres of water, pilot deploys raft from his survival pack and is rescued by a Kamov Ka-27P rescue helicopter and brought on board in a "normal condition." According to a source in Naval Headquarters, "it is possible that the pilot also made a mistake during the incident. The jet pilot, according to instructions, should have revved the engine after the cable broke and performed an emergency take-off. However, the fault of the pilot can be determined only after analysis from the Su-33’s black box," reported Kommersant. Capt. Of First Rank Igor Dygalo, head of the press center of the Main Staff of the Navy, said that the black box released as it was designed and surfaced after the aircraft sank. This was the first loss of the type during a "sea flight."[99]

August Edit

5 August
An Air Wing of the Armed Forces of Malta Scottish Aviation Bulldog AS0020 stalled and crashed in Dwejra, Gozo. The stalling was probably a result of a sudden microburst. The aircraft cartwheeled upon impact, and hit its nose, wing and tail before coming to a stop upside down. The cockpit slid open and the plane's engine got dislodged upon impact. The cartwheel led to a loss of momentum which probably saved the crew's lives. The two crew members, Mark Brincat and Kevin Borg, only had minor injuries and were treated for shock at St. Luke's Hospital after being airlifted.[137][138][139][140]

Two McDonnell-Douglas F-15C Eagles of the 58th Fighter Squadron, 33d Fighter Wing, Eglin AFB, Florida, collide over the Gulf of Mexico ~50 miles (80 km) S of Tyndall AFB, Florida, killing 1st Lt. Ali Jivanjee. Capt. Tucker Hamilton ejected from the other fighter and survived. Airframes involved were F-15C-26-MC, 79-0075, c/n 0624/C144, and F-15C-32-MC, 81-0043, c/n 0793/C226.

One pilot subsequently died several hours later from his injuries.[155] An accident investigation released 25 August 2008 found that the accident was the result of pilot error and not mechanical failure. Both pilots failed to clear their flight paths and anticipate their impending high-aspect, midair impact, according to Brig. Gen. Joseph Reynes, Jr., Air Combat Command's inspector general who led the investigation.[156] This was the first crash involving an Eglin F-15 since a fatal crash on 30 April 2002.

cross country ferry flight over unpopulated ranch land near Hollister Oklahoma USA both aircraft spiral out of control 2 aircrew in T 37 eject 1 suffers minor injuries pilot and sole occupant of N8526M is killed Both aircraft were operating under visual flight rules VFR at an altitude of 5 000 ft 1 520 m at 1128 hrs in conditions reported as hazy and overcast the AT 502B pilot had not established radio contact with air traffic control and his aircraft was not equipped with a transponder but neither was required for VFR operation in Class Category E airspace The crash is primarily attributed to the failure of the pilots to see and avoid conflicting air traffic during VFR flight Investigators conclude that the aircraft collided at an angle of approximately 100 degrees and a USAF Aerospace Physiologist determines that the AT 502B s left roll cage door structure created a blind spot that occluded the T 37B from the AT 502B s pilot s line of sight but the T 37B s right canopy bow did not produce a blind spot for the T 37B pilots Contributing factors included the lack of a transponder and radios on the AT 502B and the reduced visibility due to haze Additionally the USAF report notes that the AT 502B was flying at an inappropriate altitude for its compass heading as visual flight rules called for cruise flight at an odd or even altitude plus 500 ft 152 m however given the pilot s high level of VFR experience USAF investigators surmise that he was transitioning to a proper altitude at the time but this hypothesis cannot be confirmed 91 92 93 This accident is a rare example of a midair collision in daylight VFR conditions during cruise flight distant from an airport 26 January Main article 2005 Al Anbar CH 53E crash A United States Marine Corps Sikorsky CH 53E
