Aeroflot Flight 2003 was operated on 3 January 1976 by a Tupolev Tu-124, registration СССР-45037, when it crashed 7 km (4.3 mi) after take-off from Moscow–Vnukovo Airport, on a domestic flight to Minsk-1 International Airport, and Brest Airport, Belarus. The crash killed all sixty-one on board and one in a house on the ground.[1][2]

Accident

[edit]

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 (4.3 mi) from Vnukovo International Airport.[3][4]
