On board there was President Lech Kaczynski, his wife Maria nad many people from Polish authorieties - Parlament Members and many others. Also highest Army Staff memebers were on board. They were going to Katyn to visit cementary of Polish Army Officers murderd by NKWD in April 1940. Unfortunately nobody survived crash. For me and I think for all Poles this is huge tragedy which stay in our memeory for a very long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F106A Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 What a shock. I wondered immediately which aircraft it was when I learned the news as I have seen "101" on several occasions. Most recently on January 17th, 2010 in the Dominican Republic during Haiti support. Here she his being pushed back right in front of my C-130. I'm took this photo from the forward escape hatch. My prayers are with you. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yardbird78 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 This accident is a horrible thing to happen to the Polish Nation and people. Losing so many of the top leaders will be difficult to overcome, but I am sure it will occur, especially with the help from many friends and other nations. My sincerest condolences to families and friends of the deceased. Darwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
