A Key Lime Air Cessna 404 Titan on a positioning cargo flight departed Centennial Airport in the early morning of 30 December 2014. Shortly after takeoff the pilot reported losing an engine and tried to return, and the airplane crashed into a residential area near Denver, killing the sole pilot, Daniel Steitz. The NTSB examined the wreckage and engines and found no pre impact mechanical failure.
