In August, at the airport of Naval Air Brigade 954 (Navy), the training atmosphere for the mission of flying a parade to serve the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution and the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (mission A80) took place urgently and excitingly.

Since early morning, technical teams have been meticulously checking and maintaining every detail of the equipment. On the runway, Ka-28, DHC-6, EC-225 aircrafts took off one after another, forming a formation in the sky.

Talking to us, Colonel Vuong Dang Nam, Brigade Commander of the 954th Naval Air Brigade, said: The unit has deployed flight training with the motto "urgent, serious, safe". Preparations were carried out synchronously, from human resources, vehicles, equipment to ensuring facilities. Ground technical teams played a good role in checking, maintaining, and maintaining high technical coefficients for each flight. Training discipline was maintained seriously, strictly following flight regulations, specialized regulations, training curriculum and safety regulations.

Not only the flight squadrons, but also the ground technical support force also deployed their tasks very early. Every training day, from 3am, the technical staff thoroughly checked the equipment, electrical systems, refueled and prepared the aircraft for takeoff. The synchronous coordination between the pilots and the technical, information, navigation, flight safety departments... is a key factor contributing to creating high-quality training hours.

Participating in the flight with the sea parade formation not only contributed to the success of the big festival but also affirmed the position, strength and outstanding maturity of Naval Air Brigade 954 in the formation of the Navy and the Vietnam People's Army.
