For 70 years, Chalk's seaplanes landed in the electric blue water off Bimini island

Bimini is a sleepy island with fewer than 1,600 residents

Chalk's seaplanes used to land on the south end of North Bimini island, then taxi out of the water and past the squat, two-story building that served as a terminall.

The National Transportation Safety Board found fatigue cracks at the point where the wing met the fuselage

The crash happened over Government Cut near South Beach

The NTSB will release a final report in coming weeks

One day after the crash, Kalia Keefe, 7, waved goodbye to one of the first Chalk's flights to leave Bimini.
