- Date: July 6, 1969
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 99 Airliner
- Location: Monroe Georgia, United States
- Fatalities: 14
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: An unwanted change in longitudinal trim caused a high speed nose down dive that the pilots could not recover from. The investigation concluded that the extreme control forces likely incapacitated both pilots.
An Air South Beechcraft 99 on scheduled flight 168 from Atlanta to Greenville went into an uncommanded high speed dive at cruise altitude after an unwanted change in trim. The pilots could not recover, the wings failed, and the aircraft hit the ground near Monroe, killing all 14 aboard.
