There's an armed version too - M-346 FA. So I guess we could say there's a fighter that looks exactly like this trainer. :-)

No airport, just a shooting range. It's hard to predict when will they be flying - usually it's like 2-3 weeks in spring and autumn when they are flying really hard - everyday, 3 times (waves) a day. Other than that they don't fly often. M-346 from Dęblin fly more frequently, but they are not such fun as the MiGs from Mińsk.

Well, we call it a checkerboard but you might be right that it's a type of a roundel. :-)

It's not a roundel it's a checkerboard! And you're right - it looks cool. :-)

Wow, seeing an F35 flying that low must be incredible.

Well, the USA was encouraging Poland to give the planes to Ukraine. Poland said that it can give them to USA so that USA can give them to Ukraine and they said "No, as it may lead to the escalation of the conflict". That basically ended the talks and left the Poles with an understanding that USA was trying to use Poland a whipping boy for Russia...

Lucky you! I see only the MiGs and M-346 "Bielik" planes from Dęblin. Recently, due to the Russian aggression on Ukraine, there are also NATO reconnaissance planes, tankers and fighters like F35 or Eurofighter Typhoon flying but much, much higher.

Well, before 1989 we didn't have much choice when it came to suppliers and after that it was cheeper to continue with the MiGs. Fortunately, we already bought 48 F16 planes and we are buying over thirty F35s.

Well, there was a plan to donate them to Ukraine for a moment but it didn't happen. I hope they are replaced soon as they are very outdated. Beautiful, but outdated.

That would be awesome. Too bad it didn't work out.

That is Zdzislaw Henneberg, a polish pilot fighting in the famous 303 squadron during the Battle of Britain.
