aztec down in the Caribbean
I understand from a Caribbean weather site that an Aztec went down between St. Croix and St Thomas in the early hours of the morning. I believe the aircraft is based in either Anguilla or St Thomas. Apparently the flight carries newspapers between the islands.

Philipsburg:--- Relatives of Anguillian Pilot Kirby Hodge and the passengers that were on board flight 5553Y-AZTEX are upset with the conflicting information they are being fed regarding the survival and search and rescue mission. Saturday evening relatives of Captain Hodge and other Anguillians were rejoicing when they were told that all six persons on board the aircraft were found alive.
Nice guy and a gentleman, hope he is okay.
