On 6 October 2013 a Britten-Norman Islander operated by Air Flamenco was flying a night newspaper delivery from Vieques to Culebra, Puerto Rico. After two uneventful legs, it climbed to about 2,400 ft, made a series of 360-degree turns and then entered a rapid descending left turn into the sea. The sole pilot was killed and the wreckage was never recovered.
