- Date: June 16, 1992
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 200 Super King Air
- Location: Wilmington-New Castle County, Delaware, United States
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's improper execution of the engine-failure procedure, causing loss of airspeed and a low-altitude stall; fatigue failure of a compressor turbine blade caused the engine failure.
A Beechcraft Super King Air operated by Omega Air on a Baltimore to Wilmington flight crashed during approach on 16 June 1992. After the left engine failed from a fatigue crack in a compressor turbine blade, the pilot's handling of the emergency procedure led to an airspeed loss and a stall too low to recover, and the aircraft struck trees. All four occupants were killed.
