- Aircraft: Rockwell Gulfstream 690C Jetprop 840
- Location: Wooster-Wayne County, Ohio, United States

A Rockwell Aero Commander 690C Jetprop 840 (N2937A) on a business flight from Erie, Pennsylvania, struck a power pole with its right wing on final approach to runway 09 at Wooster-Wayne County Airport at night. The wing separated and the aircraft landed inverted about 400 feet past the pole, killing both occupants. The obstruction lights on the poles were out that night.
