A USAF Boeing B 50A bound from Goose Bay to Davis Monthan AFB lost an engine to carburetor icing about an hour after departure on 22 September 1950. A fire broke out on that engine, then on a second engine, and the captain ordered the crew to bail out. All 16 crew bailed out and survived, and the aircraft broke up on impact in a wooded area about 94 miles east of Goose Bay.
