According to the Turkish newspaper Sabah, the AT-802 single-rotor turboprop air tractor vanished from radar yesterday afternoon and was later discovered on fire near Senj. On Wednesday morning, two Turkish Forestry Corps planes flew to Zagreb for maintenance, but due to bad weather, they had to land at Rijeka Airport and spend the night. (ANSA).
