Outside
the airport on Aruba, rest the wrecks of two airplanes in
shallow waters. One of them is a Japanese produced YS-11 and the other a Convair CV-440
Metropolitan. According to the local rumors, the Convair
airplane smuggled a big load of narcotics from the Central
America's in the 1990's and was seized and confiscated by
the authorities. The airplane was later deliberately
dumped outside the airport. The remains of the plane rest
today on a depth of approximately 14 to 23 meter right
outside Sonesta Reef.
