Mexican Air Force Transport Crashes, 5 Die
 Google Translate. Reports say the aircraft was an Antonov A532, which I think is actually an AN-32A Fuerza Aerea Mexicana (FAM) transprt aircraft crashed shortly after taking off at the Monterrey Mariano Escobedo International Airport Wednesday, according to the Mexican news agency, Agencia Proceso (APRO). The Russian made AN-32 aircraft was beginning a flight to Mexico City at 1445 hrs. when it crashed killing all five crew. Reports say the aircraft went down only 300 meters from the end of the runway. The flight originated in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas and had stopped in Monterrey to discharge passengers before taking off on its final leg to Mexico City. Posted by: badanov 2010-11-25 |
