- Date: April 28, 1993
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 99 Airliner
- Location: Shelton, Nebraska, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The pilots' deliberate disregard of regulations and company procedures by attempting aerobatics, plus management's failure to instil professionalism in its pilots.
During a night check ride, two check airmen on a part 135 commuter flight deliberately tried an aerobatic manoeuvre, a barrel roll, at too low an altitude. The Beech 99 hit the ground in a nearly level attitude. Both pilots were killed.
