- Date: August 17, 2004
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 90 King Air
- Location: Pensacola-Ferguson Field, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Pilot's inadequate planning and decision making, and failure to maintain airspeed, leading to fuel exhaustion and an inadvertent stall.
A Beechcraft King Air 90 on a flight from Pensacola-Ferguson Field to a nearby airport to refuel lost its right engine to fuel exhaustion just after takeoff. The pilot attempted to return, the airspeed decayed, and the aircraft stalled near the hangars before a belly landing. Both occupants survived with minor injuries, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
