16 October is the day of aviation and the Bulgarian air force. It is the day on which, 106 years ago, the first combat flight was carried out.

At the aviation museum in Krumovo, visitors will be given an opportunity to experience what it is like to be a pilot in the cockpit of a MiG-21 supersonic jet fighter. Films dedicated to Bulgarian pilots will be screened in the passenger cabin of an An-24 aircraft. Children will be able to take part in a game called “Explorer pilot”.
