  • 21 February – A Russian Navy Antonov An-26, 07 Red, crashes one mile (1.5 km.) short of runway at Lakhta Airfield, near Archangelsk, northern Russia, during an emergency landing. Of the 20 people on board, 17 were killed.[11]
  • 9 March - A Portuguese Air Force F-16 crashes in Monte Real, Portugal, while practicing acrobatic maneuvers, killing the pilot.
  • 3 May - An Indian Air Force Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 pilot ejects after takeoff, with the aircraft crashing into a Jalandhar bank building, killing eight on the ground (see 2002 Jalandhar India MiG-21 crash).
  • 2 June – An Angolan Armed Forces Mil Mi-17 helicopter crashes in poor weather killing 20 of the 25 on board. Among those on board were top military officials that were going to attend a disarmament ceremony by UNITA rebels.
  • 27 July – A Ukrainian Air Force Su-27UB Tragedy at Lviv airshow. During the airshow an Su-27 crashed on the ground killing 85 spectators, 5 of them children. 199 were injured. Pilots managed to eject, but the plane crashed on spectators watching the airshow from the ground. The plane lacked the altitude to escape the crash, and it hit the tribune and fell on the ground. As stated by Ukrainian Defense Ministry, the crash was caused because of engine failure. Pilots, unit commanders later jailed. Footage of this accident is widely available on the web.
  • 19 August – A Russian Air Force Mil Mi-26 Halo helicopter was shot down by Chechen rebels using a portable SAM, probably an Igla, in Khankala, Russia. Of the 152 on board, 118 were killed.[12]
  • 3 October - United States Navy F-14 A-135-GR Tomcat, BuNo 162594, 'AD 136/36', of VF-101, suffers dual compressor stalls, both engines shut down, during routine training flight, crashing in the Gulf of Mexico on mission out of NAS Key West, Florida. Pilot Lt. Dave "Hound" Bassett and instructor RIO Lt. Craig "Ike" Turner eject safely at 5,000 feet and were rescued with only minor injuries by a UH-3 Sea King helicopter. On 5 May 2006, one of this Tomcat's tailfins was discovered on isolated beach W of Cork, Ireland, having floated 4,900 miles (7,900 km.) across the Atlantic. This was the sixteenth and last Tomcat lost by VF-101 during 30 years of operation.[13]
