1. This was a PRIVATE flight. Official one has been completed 2 weeks before.
2. The military airfield has been used very rare (almost no operations) for last 9 month.
2. The flight crew has been informed about the severe fog by military controller. This guy also suggested to divert to Moscow or Vitebsk.
3. Non-precision approach has been continued below minimum - classic crash..... they were cutting the trees even below RW theshold elevation.
4. ON TIME arrival was VERY VERY VERY important for the Mr. President...
