- Date: February 6, 1992
- Aircraft: Lockheed C-130 Hercules
- Location: Evansville-William H. Dress, Indiana, United States
- Fatalities: 17
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew kept insufficient airspeed while initiating the go-around, causing an aerodynamic stall.
A Kentucky Air National Guard C-130 on a local training flight of touch-and-go landings at Evansville was told to go around. The crew climbed, then the aircraft pitched nose-down and crashed into a hotel and restaurant about 4,800 feet short of runway 22. The aircraft, the hotel and the restaurant were destroyed. Five crew and 11 people on the ground died, and a police officer injured in the crash died later.
