A Beechcraft 70 Queen Air registered N11TP operated by Rainbow Properties crashed after takeoff from Albany, Georgia, on 2 August 1989. A worn gear tooth on the right engine broke from fatigue, reducing power, and the pilot lifted off before reaching minimum control speed. All six people aboard were killed.
