Many pilots came to Bien Hoa airport for the first time so they needed time to get familiar with the terrain.

Hot and humid weather affects the performance of pilots, while the flights are complex. Therefore, the preparation and training process must be meticulous.

Over the past few days, pilots have been flying in formations of 3-4 aircraft, taking off from Bien Hoa airport over the airspace of Binh Duong and Binh Phuoc localities, practicing separating from the group and circling in the sky...

The formation of three fighters formed an arrow formation, holding their positions before practicing complex maneuvers such as acrobatics and separation. After that, the Su-30MK2s practiced firing heat traps in the sky.
