UR-CAH AN12 Crashed
Looks like the AN12 (UR-CAH) that was in London last week crashed. 5 of the crew killed. First reports are stating a lack of the very important go juice.

Re: UR-CAH AN12 Crashed
Weather was low at the time of the crash. Anybody know if they held or made multiple attempts?

Re: UR-CAH AN12 Crashed
Strange there were fatalities, as it looks relatively intact / survivable.

Re: UR-CAH AN12 Crashed
I think all of the fatalities were up front. There's no flight deck area left.
Re: UR-CAH AN12 Crashed
I got some stick time on a AN12 in Africa and like all Russian aircraft it is built like a tank.
It also had the most instruments I ever seen in any aircraft, I have a picture of it somewhere in my stuff.
