Tanker down in Kyrgyzstan?
Fox and CNN are reporting a tanker has gone down shortly after takeoff from Manas. Anyone hearing anything on this? It's been a bad couple of weeks in aviation.

Yep, crashed into mountains. 5 aboard. No word on survivors, but I'm willing to bet none. RIP. Hope this isn't a sign of the times with reduced flying hours and aging aircraft...

:( What a horribly tragic week for aviation in that part of the world.
I worked flights to FRU and it's some "interesting" terrain. Many times delayed due to fog and other weather conditions made it worse. So sad to hear of this latest tragedy. RIP to those who died and their families/friends. |
One of the articles I read about 30 min ago was talking about in-flight fire. I don't know how they'd know that at this point, but we'll see I guess. Another tragic accident.
