How far this goes, second EXIN an-26 incident?
In this winter, one of Exin Antonov 26s, made unsuccesful go-around and crash-landing in frozen lake in Tallinn. Now, in August, second An-26, in scheduled cargo flight from Tallinn to Helsinki, made aborted takeoff due collapsed gear (pictures in
DELFI Pilt > Kasutaja album > Lennuġnnetus Tallinna lennujaamas ). I have seen the Exin's Antonovs also in Nice.. Whatta heck is happening? Is in cargo operators ok to have 2 serious incidents in 6 months or is this exeptional and shows that this operator should be avoided at any cost?

You never know, could be an operator's lack of something (ie proper maintenance), but could be a chain of bad luck. Exin is operating some 5-6 aircraft for over a 15 years, and I haven't heard about any other notable incidents with them in the past.
