- Date: December 10, 2004
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 200 Super King Air
- Location: Bayview-Rancho Buena Vista, Texas, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control after selecting an improper runway for takeoff, with a right quartering tailwind as a contributing factor.
A Super King Air charter attempted to depart a 3,500-foot grass strip at Bayview with a quartering tailwind. It yawed and rolled left as it briefly lifted off, settled, climbed again off heading, and its landing gear struck treetops before it hit the ground. All six occupants survived.
