They were returning from the annual Flying Safety Conference. No official informations, as the Polish MOD wants to inform first the famillies, but, to my knowledge, all pax were pilots, some of them squadron or air base COs, at least one general, commanding the 1st Air Force Tactical Brigade.
According to the last official Air Force information they were 4 crew members and 16 pax. No chance for any survivors.
New machine. Entered service in 2007 (1st August). 393 hours of flight.
Very sad day.

PS. That's right, they were approaching the Miroslawiec air base runway. Crashed in the woods near the airfield. The air base CO was one of the pax.
