Pilots presented their aircraft, whereon they exercised spectacular aerial combat scenarios, attended also by helicopters.

Captain Gabriel Andriţeac exercises daily on a MiG 21.

"In my opinion, this is the most beautiful job, more than adrenaline, is something special to have the opportunity to be a fighter pilot. It requires not only a native sense but also a lot of work," says Captain Gabriel Andriţeac.

Children were the most excited by aircraft and are already dreaming to be up in the clouds.

The aerial demonstration of Hunting Flotilla 71 from Campia Turzii convinced the audience by the militaries’ virtuosity and their ability to promptly and effectively respond in the event of an armed conflict.
