Remark concerning #Azerbaijan #Airlines #Flight #8243:

We would do well to remember the names of the pilots who died.

They fought for over an hour with a mortally wounded plane to get it as good as possible to the ground.

They had now yaw, no rudder, no ailerons, no flaps, only the power level of the engine as means of control.

Air Traffic Control denied them the use of the closest airports and sent them to cross a sea.

What they have shown is courage in the face of insurmountable odds. They knew exactly what their chances were. Their airmanship was on the highest possible level.

Their names are Igor Kshnyakin and Aleksandr Kalyaninov.

To the media: please don’t give any airtime to the obviously disinformation spreading speaker of the Kremlin and report about those who saved 29 lives.
