Tupolev ANT-6 (TB-3 & G-2)
On a cargo flight from Tashkent to Ashgabat at night in support of the Central Asian Military District when the crew did not find Ashgabat Airport due to the black-out and the lack of bearings (although the HQ of the Central Asian Military District had assured that there would be lighting and bearings). The crew lost his orientation and flew to the northwest. At 0225LT, the pilot attempted a forced landing at Kyzyl-Arvat Airfield (Krasnovodsk district of Turkmenistan). On final, the aircraft crashed at a height of 70 meters into a hill located 3 km south of the airport. Four crew members and two passengers were killed while three other occupants were seriously injured.

On the leg from Ashgabat to Chardzhou (now Türkmenabat) of a positioning flight from Ashgabat to Alma Ata for overhaul by ARM-405 when the right engine failed near Repetek. The pilot decided to go around on landing at Chardzhou as he was unable to make out the landing T, being blinded by flying against the sun, the aircraft lost height and speed while flying a left turn. The pilot did not cope with the situation so the aircraft collided with an irrigation canal and trees 4 km from the airfield, lost its landing gear, flaps and ailerons and crash landed. Both outer engines broke of. All seven occupants were unhurt.
