Small Plane Crashes in Russia

On August 7, the Russian Ministry for Emergencies (RME) started a lookout for a 4-seater amphibian plane L-42.

According to the initial reports, the plane crashed in Kirov Region’s Podosinovets District. RME confirmed that they received a message about the possible air crash at about 22:30 local time on August 7. At that time, there were 2 planes in the air, one of which disappeared from the radar.

The head of press service of the RME regional department, Aleksey Neustroyev said, “The plane was, tentatively, on a flight from Samara to Arkhangelsk.” He also said that the light multi-purpose twin-engine plane has not yet been found therefore, it is not possible to confirm anything at the moment.

RME officials and equipment from Vologda and Kirov are participating in the search and rescue operation, however, the fog in the area is making the task difficult.

    Charleston SC: Lost F-16, Pilot

    What: Two Air Force F-16 fighters
    Where: 40 miles off Folly Beach, near Charleston
    When: Thurs Oct 14, 8:30 pm
    Who: 1 pilot and 1 plane missing
    Why: During night exercises, the two planes collided. One of them returned to base; there is currently a search for Capt. Nicholas Giglio based at Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter.

    Investigators believe the bottom of the other jet struck the top of Giglio’s fighter and pierced the pilot’s canopy. The pilot is now thought to never have had time to eject.

    An oil slick was seen off the Coast of South Carolina by the Coast Guard but the search remains hopeful of a presumed “pilot who is in the water … needs to be rescued” mission.
