- Aircraft: Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4
- Location: Marion-Municipal, Indiana, United States

A single engine airplane departing runway 15 at Marion Municipal, Indiana, collided at the intersection with the tail of a Citation CJ4 landing on the perpendicular runway 22. The NTSB found both pilots failed to see and avoid the other aircraft, with the jet pilot not monitoring the UNICOM frequency and haze and reduced visibility at the intersection as contributing factors.
