- Date: March 24, 1992
- Aircraft: Boeing 707
- Location: Athens-Ellinikon, Attica, Greece
- Fatalities: 7
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing

A Golden Star Air Cargo Boeing 707 on a night approach to Athens-Ellinikon in mist was not established on the ILS. The captain started a go-around too late and the aircraft struck Mount Hymettus about 4.8 km southeast of the airport and broke up. All seven aboard were killed.
