Prinair Flight 191 was a Prinair (Puerto Rico International Airlines) flight from Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, to Mercedita Airport in Ponce.
During their second attempt at landing the pilot over-rotated the plane, causing it to crash and killing three passengers and both people in the cockpit.
FAA and NTSB investigators concluded that the crash of Prinair flight 191 was simply a case of pilot error.

released a Prinair DH114 Heron package with photoreal textures, thus promoting his Virtual Prinair project.
The aircraft comes complete with two liveries - one depicting a Prinair "red" aircraft, N583 PR, the other a "blue", N551PR - including a panel and soundset.
While the aircraft may not 100% be up to FS9 standards it presents VERY nice (and doubtlessly countless hours of) work indeed, in fact the best FS9-compatible Heron so far.

I can particularly recommend the Prinair Heron and  the PBA Martin 404. He also has recently added Atlanta Hartsfield (in the 'Seventies) scenery, and although I haven't got it yet, I'm sure it will be good.
