On March 12, 1975, a commercial Air Vietnam DC-4 (Flight 499) carrying six crew members and twenty passengers took off on a flight from Vientiane, Laos, to Saigon, Vietnam. During the flight, the aircraft's pilot sent a radio transmission to the tower at Pleiku Airport in Vietnam, requesting to make an emergency landing. The aircraft was not heard from following this transmission. The DC-4 crashed due to unknown circumstances near Pleiku, South Vietnam.

Three of its passengers were American civilians who remain unaccounted for following the incident.
