Fellow crew members murdered in Mali

Rest in peace fellow cargo/freight aviators...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you - Наши мысли и молитвы с тобой.
(hope google translate got it right)

Volga-Dnepr Airlines is one of 3 cargo airlines in the AirBridgeCargo group.

"...Today, November 21, the victims of the tragedy were identified with the assistance of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Mali and we are deeply saddened to have to confirm that six Volga-Dnepr crew members lost their lives during the terrorist attack in Bamako..."

Awful. It can happen anywhere to any of us. Thoughts are with the families who thought they'd be coming home. Even more grateful I made it home today.

Mali Attack

Oh Man, that is a terrible loss. Traveling to some areas is obviously more dangerous than others, but it is what we do. Prayers are with the families of those crews. Peace.

My thought sand prayers go out to them and their families ...

It's not just the "Developing World" that we need to be on alert when visiting. Paris, Brussels, New York & Washington, DC were all on alert this past week also.

Be careful out there. Enjoy time home with friends and family. Stay safe.

Happy Holidays everyone!*?
