- Date: March 25, 1997
- Aircraft: Gulfstream GII
- Location: New York-LaGuardia, New York, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The tower controller's inadequate service in clearing the aircraft to land on a runway where a maintenance vehicle had been cleared to work.
A PAB Aviation Gulfstream II landing on Runway 31 at LaGuardia in the dark struck an electric maintenance vehicle that had stalled on the runway. The tower had cleared the jet to land without seeing the vehicle and the go-around call came too late. The aircraft was substantially damaged and the truck was destroyed; no one was injured.
