Im in the same boat as you then their Transitfan as i happen to have flown on the Helios 733 that crashed in Greece only 6 months prior to the accident and to my knowledge thats the only one ive flown on thats crashed.
As for this accident, I hate to point the finger but in most cases within Africa poor maintenance, poor training and older aircraft are usually the norm so it really wouldnt shock me if this was the case here. As has been said the aircraft was only 21/22 years of age which is not that old but it is of an age where there will be regular checks to carry out. Regardless of the cause it is extremely sad and may all the victims RIP. My thoughts are with their families.
