On April 20, 2005, around 1700 central daylight time, a Cessna 150M, N45522, piloted by a private pilot, was substantially damaged during an in-flight collision with terrain while attempting to land on runway 18 (2,202 feet by 49 feet, asphalt) at Festus Memorial Airport (FES), Festus, Missouri. Instrument meteorological conditions were prevailing at the time of the accident. The personal flight was operating under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The pilot was fatally injured and his passenger sustained serious injuries. The local area flight departed FES at approximately 1655.

Intense to extreme weather radar returns (50 to 55 dBZ) consisting of level 5 and 6 thunderstorms passed over FES between 1659 and 1729. Level 5 and 6 thunderstorms are characterized as "Intense" and "Extreme" by the National Weather Service. A plot depicting the radial wind velocities indicated northerly winds of 36 knots or greater as the thunderstorms passed over FES.
