Crash: Services Air AN26 at Isiro on May 26th 2009, impacted ground on approach
an AN26 crashed in Congo. That's the original design of the MA60. I like the comment to this crash in the lower part:
"Antonov should stop producing the pieces of crap. Give it a year and the whole problem of them plowing in left, right and centre should have solved itself. Mainly because they'll have all crashed by then. "
Although Russian built aircrafts have received a bad rap throuh the years folling many crashes, they are just as sound as American built aircrafts. What makes an aircraft unsafe is a lack of prevenative maintaince, and routine checks carried out by highly trained maintaince staff.
Isn't this also the case with the MA60s over in the Philippines?
O'Dear,
Them flying barrels of unairworthiness seem to have a one in one chance of crashing.
Antonov should stop producing the pieces of crap. Give it a year and the whole problem of them plowing in left, right and centre should have solved itself. Mainly because they'll have all crashed by then.
Once they've all crashed the Market Traders in the Congo can get on with some trading without having to live in constant fear of some giant Russian rusted up tube of unquestionable death missiling it into their Market Place!
The Island of the Philippines should be included.
