The Antonov AN-32B belonging to the Mexican Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Mexicana) took off from Monterrey International Airport, Mexico, bound to Santa Lucia, Mexico. The plane was performing a military logistics flight with 5 crew-members onboard. The plane crashed shortly after take-off, killing all five people on board.
The Russian twin-engine cargo airplane was belonging to 301 Squadron of the Fuerza Aérea Mexicana. The plane had just taken-off to the military airbase of Saint Lucia when a problem onboard makes the pilots opt for an emergency landing. But this wouldn't go well and the aircraft would have crashed and later exploded. The plane crashed to the side of a runway near the airport VIP Terminal, narrowly missing two parked biz jets.
