From yesterday's AIN Alert:

"A Challenger 850 crashed today attempting to take off in a snowstorm fromMoscow’s Vnukovo Airport on a ferry flight to Berlin for repairs. The three crewmembers aboard survived but were critically injured. The aircraft was 10 to 12 feet above the runway when it dropped, overturned and caught fire, according to early reports. Moscow-based Fort Aero operated the aircraft, N168CK."

Usually, a loose nut behind the wheel. De-ice, de-ice, de-ice. Especially with that wing,

Raises questions about engine problems..

A good friend of mine flew that plane for an outfit in California. They just sold that plane to its new owners in Moscow late last year. It didnt take them long to kill it. Glad to hear everyone survived.

Here is a pic of it in better days.

Darn. I wasn't sure if it would work. How do you post a pic? I don't have the option on my post screen to do so.

Funny thing about that wing....it doesn't like contamination....what a P.O.S. What good is an aircraft if you can't launch with snow/ice on the wing and save the boss the cost of paying for de-icing, isn't that what he is really paying you for?

Surely you cannot be serious.
