The Jet One Express Convair 440 Metropolitan, called affectionately "The Bread Express" by some, crashed while departing SJU on Mar 15th 2012 into a lagoon near the end of one of the runways killing all on-board :frown:

It is sad to see such a classic workhorse go down like this.

Nice capture Sergio... Most of the shots I see of her are from SXM. I was lucky to capture a few before this tragedy!
