What: Beechcraft 35-A33 Debonair
Where: Rio Vista California
When: Feb 19 2012
Who: 2 aboard
Why: After the helicopter and plane bumped over Rio Vista, the pilot had to make a hard landing short of Byron Airport, 8 miles south of Rio Vista Municipal Airport. Apparently the plane struck the chopper’s skids. The 1961 six-seat Beechcraft plane involved in the collision is registered to Ronald A. Gawer of Brentwood in Contra Costa County.
When the Solano Fire crews arrived on the scene, they found the pilot with minor injuries, and the passenger was unhurt.
According to the owner of the chopper flight school, the chopper was hit from behind by the Beechcraft.

What: Continental/ ExpressJet Embraer ERJ-145 en route from Manchester NH to Newark NJ
Where: Logan
When: Jan 18, 2010
Who: 44 passengers and 3 crew
Why: After taking off 6 hours late after ground stops due to the weather, after five minutes in flight, smoke in the cabin forced the pilots to divert to Logan Airport. Emergency was declared due to “smoke in the lavatory.” In the meantime, passengers were covering their faces because of the smoke. A leak, mechanical problem and possible fire was reported on the Continental flight and speculation is that de-icing fluid had infiltrated the engine, causing burn-off.
The plane landed safely at Logan, with emergency crews on standby.
37 passengers boarded another plane around 3 pm to continue to their destination.

What: American Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-82 en route from Los Angeles to Dallas
Where: LAX
When: August 14 2010
Who: 146 passengers
Why: After take-off, flight indicators revealed an engine problem. The pilot landed safely at LAX about 3/4 of an hour after leaving.
A replacement jet was provided.
The crash is confirmed of the McDonnell Douglas MD-83 flight, which embarked from Ouagadougou Airport in Burkina Faso for Algiers-Houari Boumediene Airport in Algeria. None of the six Spanish crew nor the 112 passengers survived. The current estimation is that the pilots encountered a sand storm, and redirected due to weather. The plane was found in an area in Mali.
The MD-83 was owned by the Spanish company Swiftair, and leased to Air Algérie. A wet lease, which is what Air Algérie had, means that the operating crew was included in the lease.
The initial list of passengers included 51 French, 27 Burkinabe, eight Lebanese, six Algerians, five Canadians, four Germans, two from Luxembourg, one Cameroonian, one Belgian, one Egyptian, one Ukrainian, one Swiss, one Nigerian and one Malian, but this list has been updated several times.
Swiftair has released the following:
