- Date: May 24, 2011
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 90 King Air
- Location: Old Kaduna, Kaduna, Nigeria
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Insufficient engine power to maintain the approach profile, with contributing non-adherence to storage and return-from-storage procedures and weak regulatory oversight of foreign-registered aircraft.
A Beechcraft C90 King Air operated by Shoreline Energy on a VFR test flight from Old Kaduna military airfield failed to climb after takeoff. It struck a mango tree and crashed on farmland about 878 m short of Runway 23, where it burned. Both occupants died, and fire crews were delayed because there was no direct access from the runway.
