    On May 11, 1990, there was a fatal accident with a Transall of LTG 62. During a flight from its home base in Wunstorf, the 50 + 39 crashed into a slope in the Spessart on the way to Landsberg near Lohr am Main. In this accident, none of the ten people on board survived the crash. Details of the causes of the crash were not published. [13]

    From the Main-Post on May 10, 2010:

    "March 1991: The Bundeswehr cites human error as the cause of the crash. The investigation showed that the machine flew into the clouds and touched a tree in the rising forest. The on-board crew probably concentrated too much on identifying the city they were just flew over. "
