- Date: November 28, 1988
- Aircraft: Cessna 402
- Location: Hagfors, Värmland, Sweden
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Snow had built up on the wings and fuselage while the aircraft was towed out and underwing deicing was only partial, so it probably could not reach takeoff speed on the snow covered runway with poor braking.
Cessna 402 SE-GEH of Hagfors Flyg was on a charter from Hagfors to Oslo Fornebu on 28 November 1988 with two crew and four passengers. The crew aborted the takeoff at about 95 knots on a snow covered runway, could not stop, and the aircraft overran and struck the localizer antenna. All six occupants survived and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
