- Date: July 5, 2007
- Aircraft: Rockwell Sabreliner 40
- Location: Culiacán Rosales, Sinaloa, Mexico
- Fatalities: 10
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Wrong takeoff configuration by the crew, with contributing factors reported as crew training and resource management, pressure from an imminent airport closure for a presidential visit, failure to follow procedures, possible stabilizer failure, weak operator supervision, and a late rejected takeoff decision.
A Jett Paqueteria Sabreliner cargo flight from Culiacan failed to become airborne on runway 02 during a takeoff in which the crew had apparently used a wrong configuration. It ran past the runway end, crossed a boundary fence and a motorway, struck vehicles and burst into flames. All three crew died along with people on the ground, and several more were seriously injured.
