The Bulgarian pilots have a long period of intensive training ahead of them. This is what Major Jason Royko, who delivered Bulgaria’s first F-16 at the beginning of April and will receive the next seven aircraft, told the Bulgarian National Radio. Jason Royko will be the instructor responsible for training Bulgarian pilots at Graf Ignatievo Air Base.
"We will continue flying the F-16 here in Bulgaria. The more you fly and the more you practice, the better you become. The Bulgarian pilots have already completed their specialized training in the United States. From what I’ve seen and from working with the Bulgarian F-16 pilots, based on the training they received, I’ve already seen great progress", said Major Jason Royko.
A total of 18 pilots have so far been sent for F-16 training to the United States. Two of them have already completed the basic course for this type of aircraft.
