Accident: Hyannis MA. 17-Jun-1979. The flight crew reported for duty at 08:45 in the morning for 12 legs out of Hyannis, MA. They arrived back at Hyannis at 18:31. The crew then learned they were had to fly two additional flights of two legs each (Hyannis-New Bedford-New York-LGA v.v.) The captain was visibly upset about this. On the return flight from La Guardia the crew decided to skip New Bedford because of poor weather there. At 21:32 the flight departed La Guardia for Hyannis. At 22.39 the crew was given Hyannis weather, which included: indefinite ceiling of 200 feet, sky obscured, visibility 3/4mile in fog, wind 210deg at 10 knots. Five minutes later the aircraft was vectored for a runway 24 ILS approach. The aircraft descended below the glide path and crashed into a heavily wooded area.
