Incidents
- On March 30, 1951, a Douglas DC-4 / C-54B-1-DC operated by Seabord & Western Airlines (later Seaboard World Airlines) ( aircraft registration number N74644 ) collided from the runway while landing at Keflavík Airport , Iceland with piles of snow and caught fire. None of the six crew members was killed. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
- On November 10, 1958, a Lockheed L-1049D Super Constellation from Seabord & Western Airlines (N6503C) lost control during a training flight at New York-Idlewild Airport , and the machine was finally parked with a Vickers Viscount 724 from Trans-Canada Airlines (CF-TGL) collided, in which there were only two crew members. The trigger was an incorrectly built reverse thrust device that suddenly activated itself. All five crew members and the two in the Viscount survived. Both planes burned out and were total losses.
