Aeroflot accidents and incidents in the 1960s[edit]
- ... that the deadliest accident Aeroflot experienced in the 1960s occurred in November 1967, when an Ilyushin Il-18V crashed upside down upon takeoff from Koltsovo Airport, killing all 130 people aboard?

Age, length OK. Well-referenced, with no close paraphrasing seen. However, the fact about the plane crashing "upside down" does not appear in the source provided. Yoninah (talk) 13:30, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- The entry for the accident in the table has two references. One of them states that the aircraft "crashed inverted". According to WP:LEDE, I have removed the reference for the accident in the lede, as the entry for it has all the information required. Hope this clarify the point you raised.

Thanks for pointing out where I could find the source. I originally tried looking for this accident in the chart, but couldn't find it for some reason. Since I'm fact-checking the point you made for the DYK nomination, and it's in the lede, I added the cite to the lede so it will be clear to readers. Hook ref verified. Good to go.

- Cool. Thanks to you too.--Jetstreamer Talk 00:11, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
