Analysis
This acft is missing on a flt from andros town, Bahamas to ft. pierce, FL. After departure the acft contacted nassau to file a VFR clearance and called miami fss to report 60 DME east of ft. lauderdale in heavy rain. The plt requested information on how to get around the rain area and was told to work its way over to the Florida coast. The acft was not heard from again after this conversation and it failed to arrive at ft. pierce. A search was conducted until 10/7/83. The plt and passengers are presumed fatal and the acft is presumed destroyed.
