USAF Flight 21 crashed near Dubrovnik, Croatia, in 1996 while carrying U.S. Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and a trade delegation. All 35 people on board were killed.
The aircraft was attempting to reach the airport in difficult weather and mountainous terrain, while the crew had to rely on outdated navigation equipment and inadequate onboard systems. A critical mistake involved the use of unapproved approach charts containing an inaccurate minimum descent altitude, leading the pilots dangerously low during the approach.
The disaster exposed problems that went far beyond pilot error. The flight had been allowed to operate into an airport that lacked the infrastructure and safety equipment normally expected for such a high-profile mission, while organizational and command decisions failed to ensure that the crew had reliable navigation information and adequate preparation.
The crash triggered intense scrutiny of military aviation procedures and led to stricter standards for destination airports, improved flight planning requirements, and mandatory approval processes for military and VIP flights. The tragedy became a stark example of how pilot mistakes can become fatal when combined with inadequate infrastructure, unreliable information, and organizational failures.
