“Black tulip” is a phrase that still makes the hearts of people who touched the crucible of the Afghan war ache. A story about a military transport aviation pilot and his crew. About everyday life in combat and peaceful life. About love and suffering. About friendship and responsibility. The death of a comrade, the sudden love of a woman and her terrible death. First love and betrayal. Landing of a burning plane and a reward from the hands of the Secretary General. Everything was compressed and fit into the short life of a 33-year-old guy. DEDICATED to all the heroes who flew off on their last flight
