Originally with Eastern Air Lines as N9305 it was acquired by Mackey in 1972. Re-reg N444JM in 1975. Written off Freeport, Bahamas 24 Nov 79. The following is the Aviation Safety Network account: Convair CV-440 N444JM departed Freeport on a charter flight to Fort Lauderdale. On climbout a fire erupted in the right main landing gear wheel well. The pilot decided to return to Freeport. While approaching the airport, the no. 2 engine tore away. The Convair veered off the runway on landing and ended up 225 feet left of the centerline in the water.
