A rehearsal of helicopters and airplanes of the Bulgarian Air Force will be held in the sky over Sofia today. The occasion is the solemn celebration of May 6 - the Day of Courage and a holiday of the Bulgarian Army.
The machines will perform joint flights with flying at low altitudes over the Alexander Nevsky square in the centre of the capital, according to the Ministry of Defense.

Traditionally, on the eve of the holiday, a videoconference will be held between the outgoing Minister of Defence Krassimir Karakachanov and the Chief of Defense Admiral Emil Eftimov with the national commanders of the Bulgarian military contingents participating in operations and missions in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Mali. .
