- Aircraft: Beechcraft 80 Queen Air
- Location: O. H. Ivie Lake, Texas, United States

- Cause: Pilot impairment from alcohol, which led to an improper decision to shut down an engine and a failure to keep adequate airspeed on single-engine flight.
A Beechcraft Queen Air cargo flight from Waco to San Angelo lost power on one engine after its pilot buzzed a lake, and the aircraft entered a steep bank and hit the ground near the shore. The pilot was killed. Toxicology showed a blood alcohol level of about 0.09 percent, and the investigation found no mechanical fault with the engines.
