1961 Cincinnati Zantop DC-4 crash
A Zantop Air Transport Douglas DC-4 was on its final approach to Greater Cincinnati Airport runway 18, when it clipped some trees and crashed into a wooded area north of the airport.〔''The Middletown Journal'', 14 November 1961〕 This aircraft was the first of at least three aircraft on their final approach that failed to reach the safety of runway 18 at the Greater Cincinnati Airport, becoming victims of the area's hilly terrain with steep changes in elevation from the Ohio River.()
==Crash==
The pilot, Calvin Goutier, the co-pilot, Richard Breathren, and the flight engineer (no name or further information on record) were flying from Detroit, Michigan, carrying automotive parts for General Motors Corporation to the airport for a routine landing while en route to Atlanta, Georgia.〔''Albuquerque Tribune'', 14 November 1961〕 In the crash the fuselage broke into two pieces and the wreckage was strewn along a 400-foot (122-m) path. The crash occurred about 5:26 a.m.〔''New Castle News'', 15 November 1961〕
The plane had been tracked by radar and suddenly disappeared from the radar screen, and airport authorities saw a large flash.〔
The crew exited through an escape hatch, surviving with minor injuries (Goutier a sprained ankle and Breathren a leg injury).〔''Albuquerque Journal'', 15 November 1961〕 They walked to Kentucky Route 20, about away, for help. A passing motorist, who worked for Delta Air Lines, noted a person walking out of the woods and continued driving to the airport. Later, Delta employees picked up the crew members.
