Summary
A Flamingo Air Cessna 402 vanished over North Andros on Independence Day, claiming ten lives—including the pilot—just as it neared San Andros Airport. With no black box to aid investigators, the probe is underway, raising urgent questions about safety oversight. Veteran pilot and aviation inspector Captain Randy Butler warns that demand for flights can lead to unqualified operators flying unairworthy planes, often without proper licensing, training, or critical safety checks. This tragedy echoes a 2018 Andros crash, underscoring the need for systemic change. But Butler also reminds us that behind every investigation is human grief—and that compassion for grieving families must remain central.
