- Date: May 7, 1991
- Aircraft: Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise
- Location: Kenefic, Oklahoma, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Both pilots chose to attempt night formation flying without training, and the MU-2 pilot misjudged his position. An inoperative tail light on the Cessna 310 and darkness were contributing factors.
A Mitsubishi MU-2B-20 Marquise operated by Corporate Aviation Services collided at night with a Cessna 310 near Kenefic, Oklahoma, on 7 May 1991. Neither pilot had formal training in formation flying, and the MU-2 lost its position and struck the Cessna's tail. The MU-2 went out of control and crashed, killing its sole occupant. The Cessna landed safely with damage to its empennage and right wing.
