On his personal page, Le Hong Quang - a parachutist shared his feelings about the sudden passing of a friend, a fellow hobbyist, 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 when he can 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 parachutists, 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 way you push the helicopter, you exude gallantry. Even every time you take off, lift the plane, then point the nose straight or tilt it around, you are truly gallant.

After dating for several 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 the pilot, the teacher, the captain.

When taking the plane to H, the Captain also said "Mr. Quang has parachuted, so I will remove the plane door so we can both enjoy the adventure 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 make any announcement. Until 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, stories of passionate men are always interesting. You taught me how to fly a helicopter, from how to hover the plane in the air to glide, 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 could no longer be fulfilled. But I lived fully with my passion and career. Goodbye Captain Nguyen Thanh Trung!”
