Pax list released, six were female civilians, two were Army
generals
Yet another Venezuelan PZL M-28 SkyTruck, property of the
Venezuelan Air Force, has crashed, this time talking the lives of
16 people, including six female civilians.
The accident took place on Friday, December 10, at 1050 local
time (1450 UTC). The aircraft was identified as GN-97121, and it
appears to have gone down close to the Metropolitan Police Firing
range, near the "El Junquito" sector of the Venezuelan state of
Miranda.
The aircraft departed the Puerto Ayacucho airport in the
Amazonas state at approximately 0912 local time (1312 UTC), on a
flight to the Francisco de Miranda Venezuelan Air Force base near
the capital of Caracas. The flight was scheduled to take one hour
and fifty minutes at FL 115.
Investigators are on the site and are continuing their
examination of the wreckage to determine the most probable cause.
Weather conditions at the time of the crash were described as
marginal. The passenger list was released on Saturday.
