I think one of them was a university in the midwest somewhere, one of

crashed a plane in the KingAir class, maybe in bad weather, with a
bunch of high-level folks on board. This was probably within the last
ten years.

I don't even know where to look to find the records of accidents like
this. They're not investigated by FAA or NTSB, so they're not in
either database.

Might you be thinking about the crash of a Super King Air 200 on
January 27, 2001? This was a flight carrying 8 members of the OSU
basketball team back to Stillwater, OK after a game in Colorado. The
two pilots and 8 passengers were all killed in that accident. During
the investigation, it was found that the university's Flight
Department had not exercised proper oversight over the operation of
this flight. However, the NTSB determined that this was not "causal to
the accident," see:

The NTSB did investiage this particular accident; the synopsis of the
accident report can be found at:
