- Date: September 2, 2010
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 65 Queen Air
- Location: San Carlos, California, United States
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Loss of power in the right engine for reasons that could not be determined, followed by loss of control after airspeed decayed below minimum control speed. The airspeed indicator lacked the single-engine speed markings that would have helped the pilot.
A Beechcraft Queen Air on a private repositioning flight to Santa Clara for its annual inspection took off from San Carlos with three people aboard. It climbed normally at first, then made a series of attitude excursions, rolled right and descended steeply into a lagoon. All three occupants were killed.
