On 26 May 1987 a Continental Express Jetstream 31 (N331CY, flight 962) operated by Air New Orleans suffered severe yawing and erratic engine torque shortly after takeoff from New Orleans International Airport. The crew made an emergency landing on the departure overrun of runway 19, and the aircraft passed through a fence, struck a barrier and crossed Airline Highway. All 11 occupants survived, and two people on the ground were injured.
