Cargo plane crashed off Karachi coast

[AZ_HighCountry]

I just remembered, and not to drag the thread OT, one of the commercial fire fighting companies that provides air tanker support to the US Forest Service still operates the DC-9. There is one currently operating out of Prescott Airport in support of the fire north of Sedona, AZ.

DC 9 is a simple and rugged airplane , easy to maintain and easy to repair even by a semi trained mechanic .

Older airframes were generally over engineered compared to bean counter led initiatives later post the 70s fuel crisis

Very sad news.

Cannot rule out the possibility of a targeted strike either. The debris field can indicate more.

A loss of navigational aids shouldn't mean the aircraft goes down, unless the. pilot deviated from training greatly.

Catastrophic control surface failure, inadvertent pilot actions in light of the jamming, could be anything. Considering the slow speed and night time, a stall due to loss of situational awareness could very well be a possibility too.

I wold not trust the ADS-B data too much considering all the jamming going on. But those tracks are crazy!

a little bit of a reminder of AF447 in the atlantic.......hope this isn't one of that!

i sure hope it wasn't a missile strike or something that brought this plane down. Or israel/west tryin to send a msg.....

Full investigation needed and i hope they can find the wreckage and black boxes!
