- Date: August 5, 2013
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 200 Super King Air
- Location: Akureyri, Northeastern Region, Iceland
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The commander's focus on an unplanned low flyby led to a steep turn at low altitude outside the aircraft limits, and the aircraft lost height and struck the ground; a breakdown in crew resource management contributed.
A Beechcraft B200 Super King Air (TF-MYX) of Myflug was returning to Akureyri after an air ambulance mission. The commander made a low flyby over a racetrack where a race was about to start, turned too steeply at low altitude to line up with it, and the aircraft lost height and hit the racetrack. The commander and a passenger died; the co-pilot survived.
