A year ago, on August 25, 2023, a terrible plane crash occurred. Three Ukrainian pilots died at once: Vyacheslav Minka, Serhii Prokazin and Andriy Pilshchikov (call sign "Juice").
At Juice's farewell ceremony, Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk promised Andriy Pilshchikov's mother, Lilia Oleksandrivna, that she would at least sit in the cockpit of the F-16, the plane on which Andriy so dreamed of flying. And he kept his word.
Today his mother is in the cockpit of the F-16.
