Circumstances:
In unclear circumstances, the crew decided to modify his itinerary and initiated a fox hunt. The skis on both main gears were used to kill five foxes. While approaching to kill a sixth animal, the crew failed and the pilot attempted a sharp turn when the aircraft collided with a steep bank of a river located near Esengeldy. The crew fate remains unknown.
