- Date: February 12, 1995

- Location: Guthrie, Oklahoma, United States

A Rockwell Grand Commander 690 descending into the Oklahoma City area on a flight from Wichita flew through icing cloud during a rapid descent. Its airspeed decayed and the aircraft spun into terrain roughly 14 miles short of the destination, killing both occupants. The pilot had not obtained a weather briefing before or during the flight.
