On the Day of the Bulgarian army, May 6, attractive flights were held at Graf Ignatievo Air Base near Bulgaria's Plovdiv. Air combat and ground support with MiG-29 and Su-25 aircraft were shown. Dutch F-35 aircraft also took part. The crews of Mi-17 and Cougar helicopters extinguished the fire from the air, rescued the victim and carried out a military medical evacuation.
