- Date: January 24, 2007
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 99 Airliner
- Location: Milwaukee-General Billy Mitchell, Wisconsin, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Taxi
- Cause: The failure of both pilots to scan adequately for and avoid other traffic during taxi, and the failure of air traffic control to issue a traffic advisory. Night lighting conditions were a contributing factor.
A Beech 99 cargo flight and a Cessna 402 collided on a taxiway at night while both were heading to the same cargo ramp at Milwaukee's General Mitchell Airport. The Beech 99's propeller struck the Cessna's left wingtip fuel tank, which started a fire, and both pilots got out of their aircraft. Neither aircraft had received hold short instructions at the intersection, and both were substantially damaged.
