It is an Il-76, probably belonging to the IIAF, and 302 people are now confirmed dead according to the Iranian News Agency Cheers Scotty Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2003 12:40:45 -0800 From: "Michael C. Berch" <mcb@postmodern.com> Subject: Antonov down in Iran with 250 aboard AP reports an Antonov aircraft carrying 250 people has crashed in SE Iran, possibly a military flight. Since Antonov does not make large passenger airliners, I'm wondering what this might be... maybe an An-124 with seat pallets? Details very sketchy so far. The crash is 50 miles from the planned destination of Kerman. -- Michael C. Berch mcb@postmodern.com
