November 9, 2006. Atlantic Air Cargo' Inc. (AAC) at Opa locka Florida is run by the brothers Castrillo. Ernesto (President) and Julio (Vice President). Here you can see their DC-3 the N437GB being prepared for a flight to the Bahamas Including loading and take off.
N437GB ditched to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean while on approach to Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS/MYNN), Nassau, Bahamas Friday 13 years later, October 18, 2019.
The pilot reported that the left engine failed approximately 25-30 nautical miles from Nassau Bahamas. During single engine operation, the aircraft performance was not optimal and the flight was not able to reach Nassau Airport. The decision was made to land the aircraft in the ocean. The airplane submerged and the two pilots onboard were not injured during the incident.
I have to thank the Castrillo brothers for helping me make this video.
