A military ritual was held at Dolna Mitropolia air base to honour the memory of Major Petko Dimitrov and 1st Lieutenant Ventsislav Dunkin who were killed, on 13 September this year, when their L-39 ZA aircraft crashed during training for an air show marking 20 years since Bulgaria became a member of NATO. The aircraft’s black box is expected to be deciphered at the production plant in Czechia.
