Flying from Manas International Airport, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to Zaragoza Airport, Spain, the Yak-42D tried to land at Trabzon Airport in Turkey to refuel on May 26, 2003, but, because of dense fog, it slammed into a mountain near Maçka, Trabzon.^[1] All 13 crew and 62 passengers were killed. It remains the third-worst crash in Turkish aviation history.^[2]
