Circumstances:
En route from Tallinn to Helsinki, while cruising over the Gulf of Finland, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and low visibility due to fog. The pilot reduced his altitude, most probably to maintain a visual contact with the water surface when the airplane named 'Papagei' hit a wave and crashed into the sea. All six occupants were killed.
