The accident at Griffin in the United States in April 1997 involved

the fifth production Carvair which suffered catastrophic engine
failure during the takeoff run and failed to become properly airborne.
The aircraft crashed into a vacant Piggly Wiggly supermarket past the
airport perimeter, killing both pilots.




Who else remembers the most famous
Carvair, the one used by...Auric Goldfinger?


As a military dependent back in the day, I've flown in a C-54...one
word...noisy!!...four Pratt/Whitney radials and no sound insulation will leave
your ears ringing after a long flight.
