  • Aeroflot Flight 101/435 was hijacked by the co-pilot ...

That was Yakutsk United Air Group Flight 101/435, the word Aeroflot does not even appear in the article. The page was moved on the basis that "all Soviet aeroflot crashes are reffered to as Aeroflot" with no indication that this is on any evidence other than the preference of the editor making the change. If 101/435 is an official flight reference, then Aeroflot 101/435 never even existed (or if that combination of numbers has been used by Aeroflot, it had absolutely nothing to do with this event.) Yakutsk United Air Group may well have been a subsidiary of Aeroflot: that does not change the name of the flight. Kevin McE (talk) 22:08, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, this is odd. One of the two contemporaneous English-language sources DOES specifically call it "an Aeroflot domestic airliner," and neither makes any mention of Yakutsk United Air Group. The Russian source, however, does not mention Aeroflot, and only uses a term that Google translates to "Yakutsk Joint Aviation Squadron." This item definitely needs to be pulled until this can be sorted out on the talk page. -Elmer Clark (talk) 05:32, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In the Soviet Union, there were many divisions of Aeroflot, like the Far East Directorate, Azerbaijan, and Yakutsk United. But we do not name Soviet Aeroflot crashes in the title with the division they were; we name them Aeroflot Flight Number. For example, Aeroflot Flight 2076 was also operated by Yakutsk United. See ru:Категория:Авиационные происшествия Якутского УГА, which says "Авиационные происшествия с воздушными судами Якутского управления гражданской авиации (Аэрофлот)."--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 15:57, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Does anyone know what happened to the hijacker after prison? He would have been released circa 2000?
