- Date: December 8, 2004
- Aircraft: Cessna 207 Skywagon/Stationair
- Location: Henderson, Nevada, United States

- Phase of flight: En route

A Cessna 207 flying a weather check for passenger tours at Henderson departed controlled flight in mountainous terrain near a ridge after altitude fluctuations and a steep descent. Reported vibrations on the aircraft had gone unrecorded in maintenance records. The wreckage showed the right elevator and trim tab were missing and the bracket was loose and twisted.
