- Date: January 5, 1995
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 60 Duke
- Location: Hurley-Grant County, New Mexico, United States
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Pilot's failure to maintain airspeed on a single-engine approach, resulting in a stall, after a fatigue fracture of the left turbocharger shaft caused loss of power.
A Beechcraft Duke on a corporate flight lost power in one engine after departure and was vectored back to the departure airport. The pilot flew a single-engine VOR approach, but the aircraft stalled short of the extended runway centreline after airspeed decayed. Post-impact fire damaged the airframe and all three occupants were killed.
