Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted August 31, 2009 63 of Belarussian AF... RIP for the 2 guys... Here's a photo-link of the aircraft, also dedicated to the two crew: http://www.scramble.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?p=352493#p352493 Seemed to be either bird-strike or some sort of explosion 'behind the cockpit'...
