Avioane Craiova

The Day of Romanian Aviation and Air Force represents an occasion to remember those who devoted their life to flight, National Defence Minister Gabriel Les told the event organised on Saturday at the Air Heroes' Monument, in Aviators' Square.

A Romanian military IAR 99 Soim trainer aircraft crashed on Monday during an exercise in eastern Romania, a week after one of its old Soviet MiG-21 Lancer fighter jets crashed during an air show, killing the pilot.
