Oh dear. Yes lets hope they can be found soon. I hate to see an aircraft like that go down.

They were well off into their flight and the BUFF has ejection seats.

Last I heard, the two they found were dead, and the other four are still missing. Sounds like there weren't even any radio communications, so no one knows why it happened. Odds are, we may never.

Apparantly all 6 are dead.
In addition to the two recovered they have so far only found 'remains'.
My thoughts go out to their families.
