- Location: Kinston-Stallings Field, North Carolina, United States

On 22 July 1990 a USAir Boeing 737-222 (N210US) was taking off from Kinston Stallings Field, North Carolina, for Charlotte when the No. 1 engine ran past its target pressure ratio. The crew aborted the takeoff and the engine was shut down with the fuel shutoff lever, and the nose gear wheels separated from the gear during the stop. Two occupants were minor injured, 25 were uninjured and nobody was killed.
