- Date: January 21, 2019
- Aircraft: Douglas DC-3
- Location: Kidron-Stoltzfus, Ohio, United States
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Loss of airplane control after an engine flameout and auto feather system interruption during the takeoff climb.
A turbine powered DC 3 on a positioning flight lost power in its left engine soon after liftoff from Stoltzfus Airfield, Kidron, Ohio. The propeller began to auto feather but stopped, and the airplane yawed, banked left, descended and struck terrain. Both pilots were killed. The NTSB found an engine flameout and an auto feather interruption without determining their reason.
