Ognyanovo dam
26.11.2011
Jaw dropping action scenes as part of "The Expendables 2" movie took place at Ognyanovo Dam in the vicinity of Elin Pelin last week. The highlight during the shots was a firefighting aircraft Canadair CL-215 of the Turkish Aeronautical Association (Türk Hava Kurumu). The plane was repainted in grey specially for the movie. It was re-adorned after its arrival in Sofia on the 19th of November and its original registration mark TC-TKZ was replaced with the decorative XP2112.
Besides the plane, a Greek Eurocopter AS-355N (SX-HJV) helicopter, fitted with a motion picture camera took part in the shooting.
