- Date: February 8, 1992
- Aircraft: Lockheed P-2 Neptune
- Location: Dixon, Wyoming, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The pilot continued VFR flight into instrument meteorological conditions and lost control from spatial disorientation, as the aircraft lacked attitude indicators; weather was a contributing factor.
A Lockheed P-2 Neptune on a special VFR ferry flight from Tucson to Greybull continued into deteriorating weather over Wyoming. The aircraft was not instrumented for IFR flight. It impacted snow-covered terrain near Dixon in a steep nose-down attitude, killing both pilots.
