Rest in Peace..I had two of my friends on this plane.One as an F/E and the other one was on duty as an F/O.
I am gonna miss you dear Nima and Mehdy..
It's intersting to know that the flight engineer of that plane, has been trainied in a flying school located near the field they had unfortunately crashed.
He has held CPL/IR/FE licenses but was on duty as an F/E..
