- Location: Saint-Barthélemy-Rémy de Haenen (Saint-Jean-Gustave III), Saint-Barthélemy

A Beech 99A operated by Bohlke International Airways on an on-demand charter from St. Croix landed at Saint-Barthelemy with two crew and seven passengers. On touchdown the aircraft yawed left, left the runway, ground looped and lost its right main landing gear, coming to rest on its fuselage. Nobody was hurt, but the aircraft was substantially damaged.
