Photo Comment

Crashed 4km short of runway SKG 31 August 1995. The aircraft was ferried from Kiev to Bamako with intermediate stops in Thessaloniki and Tunis. Just before landing at Thessaloniki the crew informed ATC that they were nearly out of fuel. The crew attempted to land under VFR mode in IFR conditions. On final, in limited visibility due to rain and fog, the aircraft was too low when hit the ground at the backyard of a school, located 4 km short of runway.
