I like the paint job!
Excellent Photos of our new F-16!
Can't wait to see them with CFT and full equiped with rockets and bombs.
Does somebody know when our F-16 will be in Poland ?
PS: Licze na zdjęcia z pokazu dla Kaczora...
just curious where will our pilots do target practice and did we buy any training bombs?
sikorski...haha thats a popular aviation name as well
But the sikorski from helis was Russian...
he didnt actually fly the first PoAF F-16 (as the title says). he just got a ride in an LM bus

Your Sikorski could be Russian too. He looks Russian.
With Radek Sikorski there is an interesting history. He left communist Poland after secondary school. Then he was learning on a british university, and in 1987 was in ocuppied Afganistan (he wasn't there official).
He wrote a book about that and became a price for photos, which he made there.
Awesome pics tony! It's really nice to see our new toys look so good. I like the camo job too!

Radosław (Radek) Sikorski (born February 23, 1963 in Bydgoszcz), is a conservative Polish politician, journalist and, as of 2006, the Minister of National Defence.
Sikorski was much involved in the Solidarity unrest in the late 1970s, and chaired the student strike committee in Bydgoszcz. Stranded in Britain when martial law was declared in his homeland in 1981, he studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Pembroke College, University of Oxford. He then worked as a journalist. In 1984, he took British citizenship. In the mid-1980s, Sikorski worked as a war correspondent in Afghanistan.
Returning to Poland, in 1992 he briefly became deputy defence minister in the Jan Olszewski government. From 1998 to 2001 he served as deputy minister of foreign affairs in the Jerzy Buzek government. From 2002 to 2005 he was a resident fellow of the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. and executive director of the New Atlantic Initiative. He returned to government in Poland as defense minister in 2005.
He is married to the American journalist and historian Anne Applebaum; they have two children, Alexander and Tadeusz.
f**k, I forgot that there is something like wiki...
CPL Nadarzyce is the primary bombing range for the Polish AF and the F-16 pilots will also train there.
