These planes are over 60 years old. She came out of major check in November, has flown ex RSA to Egypt in Dec, Cuba earlier this month, and now crew rotation in Africa.
1ST Accident in the history of 28 SQN. The problem is that there are only 2 or 3 Serviceable at any 1 time, due to budget constraints. This means that the lift capacity has been severely hampered, and might have to pay big dollars now to move the UN Troops around the DRC.
