AggieDave 6 #6 March 1, 2003 The news reports so far have said that part of the tail fell off and part of the wing fell off. I'm wondering why/how, if it was a maintence issue or some sort of really odd stresses on the airframe, etc. This is very sad.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Faber 0 #8 March 1, 2003 >Atleast 11 killed in aircrash in Russia Atleast 11 people died while a minor aircraft whith skydivers crased near a small city in west Russia,says British Reuters Our only informations is that atleast 11 out of 25 were killed.2 of them were injuried and went to hospi.,said a "speaksman"?(not sure if thats rigth). Tail and wing broke off The Tjek.Build L410,crased near Barki in TVer-region,180km from Moscow. The pilot lost control,when tail and left wing broke off in aprox 3900m,theres stil no exlpanation to why it happened.

Is this the plane that isn't certified for use in the US? Kinda looks like a c-130? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faber 0 #11 March 1, 2003 I trhink its the plane i jumped from last summer,nothing looked wrong at that time.We did max get 13200ftall the time,i do belive the door have been open at the time of the accident.Perhaps someone had a premature,that could kill the tail,the G-force could the do the wing(but again i dont know).ill see if i can find a pic of one.. We had a Turbo Let 410 in DK once,its were a superb plane,it took 24jumpers to 4k in 13min,the one who crashed were not a turbo it used aprox 20min Stay safe Stefan Faber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faber 0 #15 March 1, 2003 Thats correct,same model as the old Danish model.The model that went down wernt a turbo(do belive you should see that on the propellar/mean the differens),if its the plane i jumped from it then have a flex doo(whith a big RW-formation at it),that opens inside like a door in a house.
