V stredu 6.11. 2002 doslo vo vecernych hodinach ku zrazke dvoch stihacich lietadiel MiG-29 Armady Slovenskej republiky. Obe lietadla, ktore patrili 1. letke z 1. LZ "genmjr. Otta Smika" Sliac sa zrazili o 20:40 hod. pocas cvicneho letu priblizne v 4-kilometrovej vyske. Trosky lietadiel dopadli v oblasti obce Hnilcik, asi 12km od Spisskej Novej Vsi.
Pilot prveho lietadla, 39-rocny inspektor lietania na 1. LZ Sliac, maj. Martin Hronec sa nastastie stihol katapultovat a zachranari ho nasli este pred polnocou. Okamzite bol prevezeny na osetrenie do Vojenskej nemocnice v Kosiciach, kde sa podrobil potrebnym vysetreniam. Napriek az 20-nasobnemu pretazeniu, ktoremu je pilot vystaveny pocas katapultaze, maj. Martin Hronec neutrpel ziadne zlomeniny a okrem niekolkych odrenin ani ine vaznejsie zranenia.
Pilot druheho lietadla, 39-rocny velitel prveho roja 1.letky na 1. LZ Sliac, maj. Marian Katuska sa bohuzial nekatapultoval a zahynul priamo v kabine svojho stroja. Jeho telo bolo najdene vo stvrtok rano. Marian Kartuska bol zenaty a mal dve deti.
Tato lahko dostupna keska nedaleko pamatnika, pripominajuceho tuto havariu, nech je prejavom ucty voci obeti, pozostalym a vsetkym, ktorych sa tato tragedia dotkla.
