BBC News - Angola: Huambo air force plane crash kills generals

A plane crash in Angola has killed 26 people, including three army generals, a government official has told the BBC.

Luis Caetano, the spokesman for the Huambo provincial authorities, said the military aircraft crashed after leaving Huambo city airport.

He said six people had survived the crash, including the pilot and co-pilot.

Correspondents say the aircraft was a relatively new Embraer jet purchased by the army to transport top officials.......

T500 was modified to carry only 26 pax. Aircraft had 26+4 crew. All pax died + 1 F/A. Survivors are Captain, F/O, 1 F/A and the mechanic. (they usually fly with 2 F/A and 1 mechanic).
