Ex. G-BBUA, F-BUTN, G-51-377, G-BBUA, D-IHER and SE-LGN before becoming PJ-SUN with Divi Divi Air. On October 22, 2009, while operating a passenger flight from Curacao to Bonaire, the right hand engine lost power. With the aircraft being overweight, the pilot was unable to maintain altitude. The aircraft crashed into the water near Klein Bonaire. All 9 passengers survived, but attempts to free the pilots (who became unconscious after hitting the water), were sadly not succesful. After a few minutes, the aircraft sank with the pilot still on board and came to rest at a depth of 190m.
