    Wow. As much as I am not a fan of the Iranian politicians, I hate to see this kind of thing happen to any aviator.

    The aircraft that crashed was not an Iranian AF AWACS, but a Tupolev Tu-154 of Caspian Airlines which crashed near the Qazvin Iran.
    It appears that the aircraft flew through the Iranian AF C-130 Hercules' jet wash, and the airline pilot lost control as it rolled onto its back. 168 on board were, of course, all killed.

    What the hell was he doing crossing so close behind another flight in an ICAO compliant airspace? Didn't hear about that one. You have any links for that?

    I show it as an Il-76MD lost in an airshow (which explains the close proximity) and only the crew was lost.
