The K2 Airways cargo plane from Pakistan, carrying five crew members, plummeted before losing contact. Small clues point to possible causes.

It’s been a tragic week for aviation as two military jets, a skydiving plane and a charter jet crashed over the course of just four days.

The pilot of a small plane that crashed in Bowie last month, killing all three people aboard, declared an emergency and attempted to divert to Freeway Airport moments before the aircraft went down, federal investigators said.

Two Oklahomans killed in plane crash. Around 2:30 a.m., the Monroe County Sheriff Department responded to a report of an aircraft crash in rural Monroe County, Illinois.

Officials say the aircraft had trouble landing, nosedived and came to rest upside down. Two people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Both engines flamed out on a small business jet tha Texas highway in June, preventing the pilots from being able to reach a nearby airport, the National Transportation Safety Board said in an preliminary investigation report released Friday.

The pilot was the only occupant and was able to get out of the plane safely.
