- Date: June 4, 2007
- Aircraft: Cessna 550 Citation II
- Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States
- Fatalities: 6
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The pilots mismanaged an abnormal flight control situation: they failed to control airspeed and to prioritize aircraft control, and crew coordination was poor. Marlin Air's operational safety deficiencies and the FAA's failure to detect them were contributing factors, per the NTSB.
A Marlin Air Cessna Citation II on an air-ambulance flight from Milwaukee to Detroit crashed into Lake Michigan shortly after takeoff. Two pilots and four passengers, including a transplant team, were killed and the aircraft was destroyed.
