A Lockheed 12A Electra Junior met with a catastrophic accident near Chino Airport, California, this past Saturday, resulting in the loss of two lives. The aircraft, which crashed just outside the airport’s perimeter and subsequently ignited, was part of the Yanks Air Museum collection, bearing the registration N93R.

Initial reports are scant on the details surrounding the cause of the accident. Authorities have commenced an investigation, and further information is expected to be disclosed as it becomes available.

The incident coincided with a Father’s Day celebration hosted by the museum, adding a poignant note to the tragedy. The Lockheed 12A Electra Junior, a smaller variant of the well-known Lockheed 10 and designed to seat six, was once considered a promising candidate for feeder airline operations.

The community around Chino Airport and the aviation world at large are closely monitoring the situation, awaiting more details from the ongoing investigation.
