Four people are killed when a Cessna Citation V crashes into Mine Bank Mountain in Augusta County, Virginia.

The Cessna Citation V is a business jet built by Cessna that was in production from 1989 until 2011. During that time, 774 such craft were made. The first Model 560 prototype, a stretched version of the Citation S/II, flew in August 1987 and was certified on December 9, 1988.

On June 4, 2023, a privately operated Cessna 560 Citation V carrying three passengers and a pilot crashed at approximately 3:23 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in the George Washington National Forest, Virginia, United States, killing the occupants, after the crew had been found unresponsive. The plane had previously entered the no-fly zone over Washington, D.C., and was intercepted by F-16 fighter jets before it crashed. The final report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), released on May 13, 2025, concluded the crew and passengers lost consciousness due to a depressurization of undetermined origin.

Mine Bank Mountain is a 3,488-foot (1,063 m) peak in the U.S. state of Virginia, in the Saint Mary's Wilderness near the Blue Ridge Parkway.
