Crash of Lao air force An-74 kills 20
A Lao air force Antonov An-74 TK-300 crashed while on final approach to Laos's Xieng Khoang Airport on Saturday 17 May. Media reports indicate that all 20 passengers and crew died in the crash. A statement by the official Lao News Agency confirmed that four high-ranking officials were among the casualties, including the nation's deputy prime minister, who was also the country's defence minister. The crash occurred at 07:00 local time in a densely forested area. The aircraft had taken off from Laos's capital, Vientiane. The registration of the aircraft is believed to be RDPL-34020, bearing manufacturer serial number 36547098982, according to Flightglobal's Ascend Online database. The aircraft's build year was 2009. The TK-300 variant o the AN-74 varies from other An-74s in that it's two Lotarev D-36 engines are mounted on pylons beneath the wings, compared with type's typical over-wing configuration. Antonov claims that the new configuration decreases fuel burn and improves range. It can carry up to 10 tonnes of cargo or 52 passengers.

All 7 aboard small jet killed in crash at US air base in Massachusetts
BOSTON: All seven people aboard a small private jet were killed when the plane crashed and caught fire in a wooded area while taking off from an air force base in Massachusetts, US authorities said today. The Gulfstream IV jet was taking off yesterday from the Hanscom air force base when it ran into a wooded area.

Officials said the private aircraft that was heading to Atlantic City, New Jersey. Fire department rescuers responded to the scene of the crash early today. Airport operations have been shut down.
