- Aircraft: Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise
- Location: Wawa, Ontario, Canada
- Fatalities: 0

A Thunder Airlines Mitsubishi MU 2 on an ambulance flight landed on an unplowed snow covered runway at Wawa, began sliding, rotated almost 180 degrees and came to rest on its side in a ditch. The three aboard had minor injuries. The TSB found the aircraft touched down 1,000 to 1,400 feet beyond the threshold on a runway covered with six to eight inches of snow.
