Alaska Airlines Penerbangan 261 merupakan sebuah penerbangan terjadwal dari Bandar Udara Internasional San Francisco menuju Bandar Udara Internasional Seattle-Tacoma. Pesawat ini membawa 83 penumpang dan 5 awak kabin. Kecelakaan ini menewaskan seluruh penumpangnya yang berjumlah 88 orang. Pesawat jatuh di Samudra Pasifik di dekat Kepulauan Anacapa setelah gagal mendarat di Los Angeles. Kecelakaan ini disebabkan oleh kegagalan sistem trim horizontal, di mana akibat kelalaian perawatan (kelalaian pelumasan), mekanisme baut penggerak trim horizontal menjadi macet dan ketika coba dibebaskan, mekanisme trim tersebut menjadi aus dan patah, membuat trim horizontal terlepas dari penggerak dan berada di posisi naik, membuat pesawat menukik tajam dan jatuh ke laut. Pesawat tersebut hancur berkeping-keping saat menghantam laut, menewaskan seluruh penumpang dan krunya.
