On August 14th 2025, 3x ex Bulgarian Hinds were loaded onto an Antonov Airlines Antonov An-124 (UR-82029), supposedly to bolster Ukraine's army aviation capabilities. Flightracking shows otherwise, with the AN-124 flying to Burgas Airport in Bulgaria then to the UAE on the 15th of August. No confirmation on which serials but I doubt they are airworthy.

This Z-326 was donated to the museum by the Plovdiv aero club in 1998. It was previously painted in spurious 'LZ-011' markings, but it is actually ex LZ-711. This airframe is often misidentified as ex HA-SAM, c/n 1099, a Z-526, but HA-SAM still existed in a hangar at Budaörs as of June 2024.

This Z-326 was donated to the museum by the Plovdiv aero club in 1998. It was previously painted in spurious 'LZ-011' markings, but it is actually ex LZ-711. This airframe is often misidentified as ex HA-SAM, c/n 1099, a Z-526, but HA-SAM still existed in a hangar at Budaörs as of June 2024.
