Twelve pilots from the 910th Regiment were selected for the national day celebration flyover. On 25/7, pilots and equipment mobilized to the apron to prepare for formation flights of two, three, and four aircraft.
The mission included eight primary pilots, two backup pilots, a flight commander, and a takeoff/landing commander.

The L-39NG, based on the L-39 Albatros, features improved aerodynamics to reduce drag. It's equipped with an FJ44-4M jet engine and a digitized cockpit incorporating artificial intelligence (AI), suitable for training pilots on 4th and 5th-generation aircraft.

After three 40-minute rehearsal flights on the morning of 25/7, the pilots successfully completed their mission. (Giang Huy) |
A four-aircraft formation maintained a 20-meter horizontal and 5-7 meter vertical separation in an echelon formation, approaching a simulated viewing stand at an altitude of 250 to 300 meters.
From engine start to shutdown, the formation leader continuously monitored flight parameters and was prepared to issue necessary commands.
Maintaining a consistent speed is crucial for holding formation; abrupt changes in speed, direction, or altitude are avoided. The formation leader also monitored weather conditions to ensure safety.
