Controversy: The aircraft was in sight of Miami Airport when it disappeared. According to The Civil Aeronautic Board Report, Linquist last reported the DC-3 50 miles south of Miami. The strange radio quirks that had plagued the place during the entire flight replayed themselves again. Linquist was not heard by Miami, but was overheard by New Orleans 600 miles away, who in turn informed Miami. At the time, the term 'Bermuda Triangle' had not been coined yet.
