LN-PAA

I once lost a friend who was pilot in command on LN-PAA when they lost the fin and rudder over the sea between Norway and Denmark. According to the accident analysis the aircraft then behaved in a quite unusual fashion, e.g making at least one roll which the pilots recovered from (according to the mechanical FDR) before losing control again and spinning into the sea. Wikipedia has part of the story, but to get the whole correct (and awful) picture you have to read the full accident report (in norwegian).
