@Cleon: yeah, terribly sad. That's a world class music act. My dad had a few records of their live perfomances (60's era) that were excellent.

They appear to have been flying to Syria to do for the Russian troops there what the USO does for US troops overseas: bring a little taste of home.

Sad.

Reports say it's faulty flaps that brought it down.
