Aeroflot Flight 2003 was operated on 3 January 1976 by a Tupolev Tu-124, registration CCCP-45037, when it crashed 7 km (4.3 mi) after take-off from Moscow–Vnukovo Airport, on a domestic flight to Minsk-1 International Airport, and Brest Airport, Belarus. The crash killed all sixty-one on board and one in a house on the ground.

Aircraft

The Tu-124V involved was completed on 29 January 1963 and entered service with Aeroflot as CCCP-45037 on 10 February in the same year. Initially built in a 44 passenger configuration, it was later upgraded to a 56 passenger configuration. At the time of the crash, the aircraft had logged 17012 hours 22 minutes and 14409 cycles.

Accident

The aircraft was on initial climb-out following take-off; as it entered clouds both artificial horizons failed for unknown reasons, so the crew had no visual reference. As a result, the pilots became disorientated and lost control. The aircraft banked to the left, dived and crashed into a house 7 km (4.3 mi) from Vnukovo International Airport.
