Something went seriously wrong with LIVE firing the H-25/29 during the weekend. Just been informed by a former Su-22 pilot that during the weekend sorties to the Drawsko Pomorskie one missile escaped from the range and destroyed a civilian house. There is big fuzz about it in polish media at the mom...
Hi Otto, We also noted the 4 stored Sukhoi's already in April this year. They seem to be in poor state. Aircraft "706" was already handed over in April to 40ELT and single seat "8205" has been recently added to the inventory of 40ELT. Any pics to share of your visit to Powidz? Rg...
Hi Otto, During our visit last week it was stated that the Fitters would move out of Powidz in the next couple of weeks. It is a pitty to hear that they already move this week........again one squadron of Fitters down after 39 and 6 ELT..Any idea how many Sukhoi's will be handed over to Swidwin? Mus...

This week a LIVE firing exercise was taking place at the Drawsko Pomorskie Range. Aim of the exercise was to get rid of obsolete H-25 and H-29 Air to Ground missiles. At Powidz 2 Su-22s were involved in this exercise shooting 6 H-25s and 2 H-29s. The latter is the biggest missile in the Polish Air F...
Hi, Ikzelf heb nooit structurele problemen gehad met onscherpe foto's tijdens het gebruik van de EF100-400 lens, behalve de incidentele plaat die niet geheel scherp is/was.. Ben heel benieuwd naar de tips/trics die gisteren zijn uitgewisseld. Ben heel benieuwd te horen hoe je een USM motor kunt afst...
