FSPilot 0 Posted February 20, 2003 Looks like controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) if you ask me. But I don't know much about it. Either way it's pretty sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted February 20, 2003 I always thought that the Antonov is a pretty secure plane due to the amount of turbines. Something realy bad must have happened to get this bird off the sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
