From Wikipedia
Evergreen International Airlines Flight 17 (4U17/EIA17) was a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 cargo flight operated by Evergreen International Airlines on behalf of the Air Force Logair program. On March 18, 1989, the flight's planned route was scheduled to take it from Kelly Air Force Base (outside San Antonio, Texas) to Tinker Air Force Base (outside of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma), with a stop at Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas. The two pilots were the only occupants on board. Shortly after taking off from Carswell, the aircraft's main cargo door opened, the crew lost control of the aircraft, and it subsequently crashed while attempting an emergency landing, killing both pilots.
