- Date: September 1, 2006
- Aircraft: Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise
- Location: Argyle, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Inadvertent flight into thunderstorm activity, leading to loss of control and in-flight breakup. The failure of air traffic control to warn the pilot about precipitation was a contributing factor.
A Mitsubishi MU-2 positioning flight from Tulsa flew into a thunderstorm while descending near Argyle, Florida. The left wing separated, the aircraft broke up and the pilot was killed. The NTSB also noted that air traffic control did not use available radar information to warn the pilot about the precipitation.
