A PZL-Mielec An-2T (RF-01024) operated by DOSAAF with 14 people aboard, mostly skydivers, crashed shortly after takeoff from Rybinsk-Yuzhny Airport. The crew reported engine problems and attempted an emergency landing, but the aircraft hit trees and came down in a snowy wooded area about 2 km from the airport. The aircraft was written off, and one skydiver had a minor injury and declined hospital treatment.
