This is truly a rare image. It’s the only one I know of. The plane in this picture hasn’t been seen in over 43 years. But I know exactly where it is, or at least I know within a few miles of where it is. It’s currently sitting at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. Note the name printed on the nose of the plane (click on the image to bring up a larger version).
This is the actual aircraft involved in the ALM 980 ditching, which is told in the book 35 Miles From Shore. The photo is from former ONA captain Paul Witting.
