NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On September 28, 2008, approximately 1148 central daylight time, a twin engine Cessna 320, N4165T, sustained substantial damage when in collided with terrain while maneuvering to land at Airmen Acres Airport (OK93) near Collinsville, Oklahoma. The certified commercial pilot and the private pilot were fatally injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by the private pilot.

Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal flight conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.

The crews' failure to maintain adequate airspeed, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall close to the ground.
