A Fairchild Metroliner Mark III, tail number N577MX, operated by CAE Aviation (Luxemburg), on a flight chartered by French Ministry of Defense, crashed Oct 24, shortly after takeoff from Luqa Airport (LMML - Malta). All five occupants (two CAE employees and three French MoD personnel) died in the accident. After initial reports that flight was operated for an European Agency or for French Customs, it surfaced that it was a reconnaissance flight by French special inteligence services, which may raise speculation whether the cause of the crash is accidental or not.
The last seconds of the flight have been captured on camera by a by-passing car driver
