Aeroflot Flight 2003 was operated on 3 January 1976 by a Tupolev Tu-124 , registration СССР-45037, when it crashed 7 km after take-off from Moscow–Vnukovo Airport (VKO/UUWW), on a domestic flight to Minsk-1 International Airport (MHP/UMMM), and Brest Airport (BQT/UMBB), Belarus . The crash killed all sixty-one on board and one in a house on the ground. [1] [2]
Description of the accident
The aircraft was on initial climb-out following take-off; as it entered clouds both artificial horizons failed, so the crew had no visual reference. The aircraft banked to the left, dived and crashed into a house 7 km from Vnukovo International Airport . [3] [4]
