- Date: October 6, 2000
- Aircraft: Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise
- Location: Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, United States
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's failure to follow instrument approach procedures, resulting in a collision with trees. Low cloud ceiling was a contributing factor.
A Mitsubishi MU-2 operated privately on a night flight from Trenton, New Jersey, to Martha's Vineyard in low cloud and mist. The pilot descended below the glide path on the ILS approach and struck trees about three quarters of a mile short of the runway while the tower was issuing a low altitude alert. All four occupants died.
