- Date: February 16, 1994
- Aircraft: Beechcraft G18S
- Location: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, Florida, United States

- Cause: Pilot's poor approach planning and premature gear extension, with the left engine power loss as a factor.
A Beechcraft G18S cargo flight bound for Freeport lost power on its left engine shortly after takeoff from Fort Lauderdale. The pilot returned to land, extended the gear too early, and turned base with the aircraft yawing and descending. He crash-landed in a vacant lot short of the runway. No one was killed.
