Douglas C-47 Skytrain (DC-3) accident on November 9, 1950 near Turukhansk Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia with 2 fatalities.

An Aeroflot C 47 was flying to Dudinka on 9 November 1950, but visibility there was below minima, so the crew turned back toward Turukhansk through severe icing. On final approach, with the landing gear lowered, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field 2 km short of the runway. Two passengers were killed, and the other occupants survived.
