Frontier Airlines Flight 13 crash

Frontier Airlines Flight 13 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach, Florida to Girona-Costa Brava Airport in Girona, Spain. On June 13, 2014, the Boeing 717-200 was hijacked by a Serbian terrorist group called "The Night Stalkers" and crashed into a field in Burgos, Spain, killing all 53 people on-board. The crash remains the deadliest plane crash in Spain since Spanair Flight 5022. After the incident, Frontier Airlines announced it would be raising its security.

The Night Stalkers
The Night Stalkers were a terrorist group led by Serbian native Milovan Nestorovski that operated in Saugus, Massachusetts. Nestorovski first came to the United States in 2004.

Nestorovski trained at the CRM Airline Training Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, earning his FAA commercial pilot's certificate in August 2006. He had wanted to be a commercial pilot for Belgrade Nikola Tesla but was rejected when he applied to the civil aviation school in Novi Sad in 1990.

In December 2009, Nestorovski arrived in Miami, joining fellow members Dobroslav Pap and Desimir Hristov, who had been there since October 2009. Soon after arriving, Nestorovski and Pap left for Los Angeles, California, where Pap began training at Encore Flight School.

In January 2010, they relocated to Sandston, Virginia, where they awaited the arrival of the remaining members. One of the members, the female Maja Borisov, arrived on April 20, 2009, with fellow member Brajko Kuzmanovic from Belgrade at Richmond International Airport. They moved into an apartment with Nestorovski and Pap.

On February 21, 2014, Nestorovski rented a room in Flushing, New York, where he stayed with fellow members through the end of March. The 6th member, Stanislav Pejakovski, arrived on April 13, 2014, with two other members, Milan Trkulja and Vikentije Ristovski at John F. Kennedy International Airport from Sombor. They stayed with Nestorovski.
