Icarus to spread his wings over Dorcol: This statue will be unveiled today near the Aviation Academy

The statue of Icarus will replace the Jastreb ("Hawk") aircraft that used to stand in that place

The Jastreb that "took off" from the yard of the Aviation Academy in Dorcol, Belgrade will "land" in Vrsac, and today a beautiful statue of Icarus will be unveiled in the place where the plane used to stand, the portal Telegraf.rs has learned.

Thus, there will be no "traffic jams" there - the plane will no longer be "flying" over the trams; instead Icarus, a powerful mythical figure, a symbol of aviation, will elegantly hover over this Dorcol commotion.

"The statue of Icarus will replace the Jastreb that was in that place. That plane will be transported to Vrsac, to the Pilot Academy, which is now part of the Aviation Academy," he have been told in this institution.

Earlier this year it was noticed that the plane, which attracted attention at the corner of Tadeusa Koscuska and Vojvode Bojovica streets, was no longer standing on its pedestal - but the start of the new school year will be marked by a surprise.

The new statue of Icarus is imposing and differs from the well known version that we have the opportunity to see on the magnificent edifice of the Air Force Command in Zemun, Belgrade.
