Well people, sorry to say but very often it comes in three so keep your fingers crossed the coming days.

Very sad news and again today another Airbus A310 from Siberia Airlines came into trouble. The A310 which was on it's way from Moskou to Antalya had to make a precaution landing at 21.45 Simferopol (Oekraïne) due to one engine failure as reported by the Ukranian news channel NRCU.
