FLIGHT TO ETERNITY
On May 15, 1992, two Croatian pilots in the Yugoslav Army, flew with two planes MIG-21 into the free Croatian territory. Months prepared action was achieved in almost impossible conditions and in a very complex situation. On the human side, this is a story about great challenges, endurance, courage, discernment and the right decisions in a given time, all on the edge with many obstacles, which at first seemed insurmountable.
