What: Ilyushin Il-103
Where: Alekanovo, Ryazan Russia
When: July 22, 2012
Who: 3 aboard, 3 fatalities
Why: Although initially reported as two fatalities, there were three in the crash of the Ilyushin Il-103 in a forested area in the Ryazan region of Russia. The local fire brigade responded.
The plane belonged to businessman Vladimir Kondrakova and was piloted by a test pilot, Vladimir Lubin.
One of those aboard was the 12 year old son of a passenger.
Witnesses said “the crash occurred because the flight had taken too strong a turn, causing the airplane to go into a tailspin and crash vertically into the ground.”
The Regional Ministry for emergency is apparently not investigating because the plane was not certified.
