Narrative:Written off (destroyed) 18 July 1969 when crashed during initial climb out from Hollywood-Burbank Airport, Los Angeles County, California. Aircraft was engaged in a cargo flight to Fresno, California, and sustained an engine failure, due to carbon deposits on the spark plugs on #1 engine.
