Written off Saint Louis-Lambert International 9 Jan 84. From the ASN report: The first two attempts to takeoff were abandoned due to slow aircraft performance. Takeoff was continued on the third attempt, but both engines lost power upon gear retraction. An attempt was made to make an emergency landing on a highway, but the left wing struck a pole. The aircraft crashed through a fence and struck a highway embankment. PROBABLE CAUSE: Jet-A fuel had been used when refueling the aircraft, instead of 100LL Avgas.

Taking a similar route to many DC-3s operated in Canada, C-GSCA started out as 43-49929 delivered in January 1945 to the Royal Air Force as KN261. Operated by the RCAF after September 1945, it was re-numbered 12908 in 1970. First sold to Eclipse Aviation as C-GGJG in June 1975, it would quickly go to Skycraft as C-GSCA in in December 1976. The aircraft crashed at Saint Louis-Lambert International Airport January 9, 1984 while leased to Soundair after mistakenly fueled with Jet A instead of Avgas.
