Footage of the last minutes before the fatal military aircraft crash near Graf Ignatievo air base

BNT has footage of the last minutes of the flight of the L-39 military training aircraft, which crashed near Graf Ignatievo air base on September 13.

Two pilots died after the aircraft crashed while performing a complex manoeuvre at extremely low altitude.

The pilots were instructors from the air school in Dolna Mitropolia and were due to take part in a special air show scheduled for September 14 to mark the 20th anniversary of Bulgaria's accession to NATO.

So far it is only clear that the two pilots had performed the manoeuvres many times, the flight had been planned long ago and the crashed machine had undergone major repairs in the Czech Republic earlier this year.
