On his personal page, Le Hong Quang - a parachuting athlete shared his feelings about the sudden passing of a friend, a fellow hobbyist, and a younger brother.

Skydiver Le Hong Quang shared a photo of himself flying with Captain Nguyen Thanh Trung with deep condolences.

Skydiver Le Hong Quang shared: “A man’s life always has passions, and it is even happier to live and work with his own passion. You and I both share the same passion for flying in the sky. Partly because when we were teenagers, we both lived next to a place that specialized in recruiting pilots. And also because of our passion for the sky, we knew and got to know each other.

You with the nickname Quang Chim are a parachutist, and I - Captain Nguyen Thanh Trung with the nickname U Beo Puma are helicopter pilots. The stories between us are always about the sky, about parachutes, about airplanes, about family life, about joy.

You - a Hanoi boy with a gentle smile, from the way you walk to the moment you push the helicopter, you exude elegance. Even every time you take off, lift the plane, then point the nose straight or tilt it around, you are truly elegant.

After dating for years, the day came when I got to fly with you, just the two of us. At this time, I was a guest, a student, a co-pilot. And you - the Captain - were a pilot, a teacher, a captain.

When taking the plane to H, the Captain also said "Mr. Quang has parachuted, so I will remove the plane door so that both of us can enjoy more". We had a great flight!

Trung! Yesterday morning, while I was standing in the middle of the stadium in the pouring rain, I received a text message about the accident and was worried because I thought you were on the plane. I called the unit but military procedures did not allow me to release anything. When the newspaper published it, I could not hold back my tears and just wished it was just a mistake, wished for a miracle to happen.

Trung! You sacrificed! It hurts so much! I will remember what we shared, the stories of passionate men are always interesting. You taught me how to fly a helicopter, from how to hang the plane steadily in the air to how to glide the nose, take off and land. You also promised to come back this December and I will arrange time for us to fly together again.

All my promises to everyone, all my ambitions and passions have not been fulfilled. But I have lived fully with my passion and career. Goodbye Captain Nguyen Thanh Trung!”
