About 1435 e.d.t., March 27, 1975, a Federal Aviation Administration Douglas DC-3 crashed during takeoff on the DuBois-Jefferson County Airport, DuBois, Pennsylvania. The three cockpit occupants and one passenger were seriously injured. The other seven cabin occupants sustained minor injuries. The aircraft was destroyed. The pilot, inexperienced and unqualified in the DC-3, was making the takeoff with a 7-knot crosswind and with an unlocked tailwheel. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was loss of control at takeoff because of the inexperience of the unqualified pilot making the takeoff and because of the failure of the experienced pilot in the right seat to assume timely control.
