A Cessna 560 Citation V on a corporate flight from Des Moines to Eagle River, Wisconsin, was circling to runway 22 after a VOR/DME approach when it struck the ground about a quarter mile from the threshold. The NTSB found no airframe, engine or navaid defects and noted rime ice on the wing and tail leading edges. Both pilots were killed.
