- Date: December 21, 1997
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 100 King Air
- Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot did not follow IFR procedures and descended below the minimum descent altitude; fog was a related factor and no mechanical fault was found.
A charter King Air flying from Eden Prairie made an ILS approach to Colorado Springs in fog. It disappeared from tower view and radar contact was lost, and after a 31-minute search the wreckage was found on the runway's side, halfway along it. One of the two occupants was killed.
