The jet was on its way to Moscow when it apparently suffered an electrical failure, forcing the pilots to divert it to the nearest airport. Their only option was an airfield designed for much smaller craft. The crash-landing saw the plane cross the short airstrip, and roll off several hundred metres into the woods. None of the people on board were injured, and the pilots have been praised for their efforts. http://www.funplacestofly.com/blog.asp?ID=289 Back to top            Sport Pilot Talk Forum Index -> Hangar Talk Page 1 of 1 Powered by phpBB Search Engine Indexer Powered by phpBB 2.0.22 © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group
