Would expect a quite good number of gvmt and other VIP aircraft.
According Polish TV Mr Kaczynski will be buried in Krakow in the same place where Polish Kings are buried... So Krakow airport might be a better place.

Acording to this: http://files.radioscanner.ru/files/down ... 7_58_1.mp3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Pilot speaks fluent Russian.
Did you listen to that Russian communication?
My knowledge of the Russian language is limited to numbers only and I clearly hear callsign "IGA703" and not "PLF101".

This is a recording of the Skytaxi SF340 with families/authorities that flew to Smolensk after the crash.

MOSCOW - For a few terrifying seconds before a Polish jet crashed in western Russia on Saturday, its crew members knew they were about to die, said Poland's chief prosecutor on Thursday, as investigators in both countries analyzed the contents of the plane's black boxes.

One possibility, he said, was that the pilot was not aware that the plane, the TU-154, loses altitude faster than usual when it is descending at more than 20 feet per second.

yesterday you could have seen an interesting (polish?) documentary on TV. (ned.2)

-investigation into the cause(s) of the crash is being questioned,
-Russian sincerety in being questioned,
-the word Conspiraty is mentioned repeatedly,

many other questions were given attention including:
-was the planes shot at / of even shot down
-where did the thick fog came from....( with reference to a tip on youtube........ )

see youtube and typ: TMS-65, or better in cyrillic: TMC-65 ...(and stand amazed :shock: ).
