- Date: November 30, 1967
- Aircraft: De Havilland DHC-4 Caribou
- Location: Quy Nhơn Bình Định Province, Vietnam
- Fatalities: 26
- Phase of flight: En route

The USAF De Havilland Caribou 62 4175 was flying from Pleiku toward Qui Nhon. The airport was closed by weather, so the crew was vectored to Nha Trang, but in low cloud the aircraft struck tree tops on a wooded mountain. All 26 occupants were killed, and the wreckage was found weeks later because the site lay in enemy held territory.
