  • On July 2, 1963 at Rochester, New York, a Mohawk Airlines Martin 4-0-4 attempted to take-off into a thunderstorm. Its wing-tip hit the ground and the aircraft cart-wheeled. Seven people were killed. See Mohawk Airlines Flight 121
  • A bizarre accident occurred on June 23, 1967 when a BAC 1-11 flying from Elmira, New York to Washington, D.C. had a fire in the rear of the aircraft which eventually destroyed the vertical tail causing all loss of pitch control. The cause was a non-return valve failing in the APU unit causing hydraulic fluid to ignite. The aircraft crashed near Blossburg, Pennsylvania killing all 34 people on board. See Mohawk Airlines Flight 40.
  • On March 3, 1972 another FH-227 crashed into a house in Albany, New York on approach to Albany County Airport. The crew had difficulty getting the cruise lock to disengage in one of the engines. While the crew attempted to deal with the problem, the aircraft crashed short of the airfield killing 16 of 48 in the aircraft and one person on the ground. The lone surviving crewmember was a stewardess, Sandra Quinn. The cause of the crash has never been discovered. See Mohawk Airlines Flight 405
