- Date: January 26, 1995
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-26
- Location: Sambailo, Boké Region, Guinea
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The crew did not prepare the flight per procedures or follow the pre-takeoff checklist, and the parking brake was not fully released.
During the takeoff roll at Sambailo, the pilot realised the aircraft could not get airborne and braked, but it could not stop within the remaining runway and overran. All 24 occupants escaped unhurt. Sources disagree on the occupant count and the aircraft's identifiers.
