- Location: Port Clinton (Erie-Ottawa-Carl R. Keller Field), Ohio, United States

A Cessna 340 twin on an approach to Port Clinton, Ohio, stalled while short of the runway and crashed into a residential backyard. A pilot with limited twin-engine experience had been warned about the stall horn on a flight with an airport manager eight days earlier. No mechanical anomalies were found, and all four people on board were killed.
