At 1600 m.s.t., December 21, 1967, Frontier Airlines cargo flight 2610, a DC-3C, N65276, crashed during takeoff from runway 35 at the Stapleton International Airport, Denver, Colorado. The captain and first officer, the only occupants of the aircraft, were killed. The aircraft was destroyed by impact and fire. Investigation revealed that the takeoff had been made with a control batten of gust lock in place on the right elevator. The Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the failure of the crew to perform a pre-takeoff control check resulting in takeoff with the elevators immobilized by a control batten.
