- Aircraft: Beechcraft 300 Super King Air
- Location: Port Orange-Spruce Creek, Florida, United States

A Beechcraft 300 Super King Air on a private flight from Stuart to Daytona Beach lost both engines several times during the approach after the pilot transferred fuel with crossfeed. The pilot could not reach the runway and came down near condominiums, ending in a retention pond. One passenger was seriously injured and the aircraft was destroyed.
