Operated by Miami Air Lease. Written off 4 Dec 2004 when it ditched in Maule lake Marina, Miami, after an engine problem on departure from Opa Locka, en route to Nassau. The improper maintenance of the port engine prevented the left propeller from feathering. This resulted in the airplane being unable to maintain altitude and having to ditch. A contributory factor was the aircraft load exceeding the maximum allowable takeoff weight on departure.
