An-24 airliner catches fire in Yakutsk during takeoff Thurs.
ITAR-TASS 02/04/2010

An An-24 airliner, which carried 35 passengers and four crewmembers, caught fire at Yakutsk airport on Thursday morning. No one was hurt. The airliner was to fly along the Yakutsk-Olekminsk route.

An Itar-Tass correspondent has learned that the airliner's undercarriage broke down during takeoff, the airliner fuselage-landed, and its engine caught fire. This information has been confirmed by transport police.

Firefighting and ambulance teams were urgently brought to the scene. Transport police and personnel of the airport’s aviation safety service promptly evacuated the passengers.

A field investigation group and specialists of the airport are currently at work on the runway. The Yakutsk transport prosecutor's office is busy ascertaining the circumstances and causes of the incident. The Yakutsk airport is temporarily closed.

An-24, gear collapse on takeoff, the runway also looks quite slick. both maingear look partially retracted and the nosegear has --issues.

Looks like they're fittin a strap to lift it. Love the spare tires.

Plane crash in northern Siberia kills at least 11
Associated Press August 2, 2010 01:40 PM
(08-02) 13:40 PDT MOSCOW, Russia (AP) --

A twin-engine passenger plane crashed early Tuesday near a northern Siberia town, killing at least 11 of the 15 people on board, Russia's Emergencies Ministry said.

Initial reports indicated that all those aboard the Antonov-24 turboprop were killed. But Russian news agencies later quoted Olesya Kukuyeva, a spokeswoman for the ministry's Siberian division, as saying that 11 were known dead.

The plane crashed from an altitude of about 700 meters (2,300 feet) as it was approaching the airport of the town of Igarka, above the Arctic Circle, said another ministry spokeswoman, Irinia Andryanova. She said there were four crew members and 11 passengers aboard the plane; An-24s have a capacity of about 45 people.

Igarka is in the sprawling Siberian region of Krasnoyarsk, some 2,500 kilometers (1500 miles) east of Moscow.

Russian news reports said the plane belonged to the small regional airline Katekavia.

Just after I saw my first USAF/SOCOM AN-28 overhead...

Are the reliability rates of russian aircraft improving, or are there just too few left to crash at the previous rate?

You likely saw was the Polish build verion PZL M28 Skytruck.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL_M28

A bid different from the Soviet version. The plane was developed by the PZL Mielec into a westernised version powered by Pratt & Whitney PT6A-65B turboprops with five-blade Hartzell propellers, plus some western (BendixKing) avionics (a distinguishing feature are exhaust pipes, sticking out on sides of engine nacelles).

Though not all that many of them are flying around, so far one has crashed in 2001 due to a pilot error.
AFSOC to get first 10 Skytrucks

By Michael Hoffman - Staff writer
Posted : Monday Feb 16, 2009 15:31:15 EST

Air Force Special Operations Command will receive its first of 10 M-28 Skytrucks — a light cargo and passenger plane — in June.

The Skytruck will shuttle small groups of special operators to areas with unimproved landing strips, said Col. JD Clem, deputy director of plans, programs, requirements and assessments for AFSOC. It will be based at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., like AFSOC’s other non-standard aviation assets including the PC-12 Pilatus, he said.

“If I need to carry six guys some place, I don’t want to have to send a C-130,” Clem said. “But, if I want six guys to land on an unimproved strip the PC-12 is not the plane to use.”

AFSOC plans to receive the Skytrucks over the next couple years, he said. A twin engine high-wing strutted monoplane, the Skytruck can carry 19 people in the back with a maximum take-off and landing weight on 16,534 pounds and a maximum cruise speed of 223 knots, according to Skytruck Company’s Web site.

What it won’t carry is any intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sensors, Clem said.

“The non-standard aviation is simply to haul people around. There is nothing really cosmic about it at all,” he said.

Only a few updates:

AN-26 in Estonia: gear retraction on takeoff... Aircraft may fly again
AN-12 in Congo: Runway overrun and ends up in trees after diversion due to engine failure
and the strangest one yet

Let 410 in Congo: Passengers noticed aircraft was not headed toward "correct" runway. Passengers rushed the cockpit, disrupted the CG badly and the aircraft crashed. article http://avherald.com/h?article=43015f1b&opt=0

I've always thought the story of the An-28 and its piston-powered predecessor, the An-14, was an interesting one. Here was an aircraft that was desperately needed, but that ended up drowning in bureaucratic nonsense. If they'd only let O. K. Antonov build it the way he wanted to, there would have been thousands of An-14s around and the turboprop version which after still more years of development became the An-28 would have materialized a good decade sooner.

Congo: Cargo plane crashes in Pointe-Noire, killing 16

A cargo plane has crashed in a residential area of Congo-Brazzaville's economic capital, Pointe-Noire, killing at least 16 people.

The Antonov plane, operated by Trans Air Congo, crashed as it was trying to land, according to civil aviation agency head Michel Ambende.

He told AFP news agency that as many as 19 people had died in the crash and 14 were injured.

"We don't know yet if the toll will grow," he said.

Several houses in Pointe-Noire's Mvou Mvou district were reported to have been buried by debris.

One witness told AFP that the city was "in shock. It's apocalyptic."

A TV cameraman who saw the crash was quoted as saying that the pilot had been able to get of the cockpit before the plane came to a rest.

He told the Associated Press that he had seen at least 16 bodies being pulled from the wreckage.

Another witness said the plane had begun preparing to land at the airport before veering out to sea and then crashing.

The "airline" in question seems to have quite a diverse fleet.

(....that looks like it would be quite a job to secure for landing....)

But given that it seems to have caught fire during engine start, probably not.

This was after landing, I didn't go flying with the thing. But the amount of smoke from the engines at take-off was amazing.

I know this is a total air disaster thread, but I'm hijacking it to avoid starting another.
Alrosa retired its last Tu-154 :cry: . Last passenger airline operating it is Air Koryo.
They also retired their last Tu-134 last year :cry: . One again, the type remains in passenger service only with Air Koryo, which is also the last passenger airline operating the nice Il-18 and the beautiful Il-62.
