Helicopter or plane?
Different sources have reported different things. The most specific source I've seen so far, CNN, has reported that it was a plane and noted what kind, which seems convincing. If it is a plane, the article will need to be moved. Khazar2 (talk) 23:06, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * We always can, but Huffington Post, WSJ, NBC, etc reported it as helicopter. It can be changed if more info is gathered soon. -- Activism  1234  23:13, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps they meant plane in the general sense, as in a helicopter is a plane. -- Activism  1234  23:21, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * BBC reported this as coming from an unnamed civili aviation representative, so it may not be true. Later reports should confirm or deny this. -- Activism  1234  23:54, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * BBC, NYT, and Al Jazeera all have it on their front pages as a plane crash, which is presumably up-to-date info. Antonov also appears to make only planes, not helicopters. I'll be surprised if this turns out to be a helicopter at this point, but you're right that WSJ is still reporting helicopter, so I'm fine with holding off till it's clear.

 * Aviation Safety Network says it's an Antonov 24/26 here.Wakari07 (talk) 03:27, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have objections to changing this in the article and moving the page, but I'd like other people commenting here as well before that. -- Activism  1234  03:29, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The Aviation Herald have source too.Wakari07 (talk) 03:59, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know that source I can't tell if it's reliable. Input from other editors would be much appreciated. -- Activism  1234  04:14, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Given the different sources, we are all guessing here .. but the Aviation Herald source seems to have a better understanding of the planes that Alfa Airlines Sudan operates and this indicates that it was either a AN24 or AN26. This has been referred to by other sources as well. Plus, apart from military troop carriers, I doubt if there are too many helicopters that can carry 30 odd people. Chocolate Horlicks (talk) 05:22, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * We can't rule it out being a helo, a Mil Mi-8 can carry 30 pax and examples are operating all over the world. On the other hand, IMO it doesn't make sense for a helo to be used for a flight from Khartoum - assuming it was from there - as the distance is over 400 miles, which means that a helicopter would have to stop to refuel; the trip would take 3-4 times as long in a helo as a fixed-wing turboprop. And yes, Antonov is a purely fixed-wing manufacturer. YSSYguy (talk) 09:22, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Page move
Why? I'm pretty sure 2012 Sudan Antonov An-26 crash can't be the commonname. Formerip (talk) 12:15, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * According to the Aviation accident article naming conventions the title should be in the format < > < > < > < >. Should this article be renamed to 2012 Alfa Airlines Antonov An-26 crash? --Daniel (talk) 13:14, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
