Incidents and accidents
- On April 9, 1990, a Delta Connection flight operated by Atlantic Southeast Airlines Embraer EMB-120 (Registration N217AS) as Flight 2254, in route to William B. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport struck a Cessna 172 mid air just after take-off. The Embraer was able to successfully land the aircraft; however, the Cessna was unable to regain control and crashed to the ground. Of the 7 occupants onboard the Embraer, there were zero fatalities; of the 2 occupants onboard the Cessna, there were two fatalities. The cause of the crash was attributed to pilots of both aircraft inadequately performing a visual lookout in addition to restricted vision caused by the sun's glare.
