On April 3rd, 1996, a U.S. Air Force CT-43A, call sign IFO-21, crashed into a Croatian mountainside while on a high-level diplomatic mission. Among the 35 people on board was U.S. Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, as well as senior executives from major American corporations. The flight was en route to Dubrovnik, but a combination of human error, poor weather, outdated navigation procedures, and critical equipment limitations led to a catastrophic controlled flight into terrain (CFIT).

In this in-depth documentary, we’ll explore the full story behind one of the most politically sensitive and technically revealing crashes in U.S. military aviation. You'll learn how flawed decision-making, unvalidated approach charts, and a lack of flight recorders created a perfect storm. We'll analyze cockpit decisions, the NDB approach to runway 12 at Dubrovnik, and why the aircraft deviated from its published course.

We’ll also uncover the aftermath of the accident, including high-profile resignations within the Air Force and changes in military aviation safety protocols. Additionally, we explore the mysterious death of an airport official days after the crash, adding a layer of intrigue to an already complex tragedy.

This is the complete story of IFO-21 — the CT-43 that never made it to Dubrovnik. Subscribe to the channel for more aviation case studies, crash analyses, and deep dives into aviation safety history.
