Post by ATCSpooky »

Anybody know the current situation in Poland about spotting "in the wild?!" As well as the possibilities at the SU-22 and MiG29 bases?

Should still be allowed? I've seen pictures on social media of Polish spotters just doing what they've been doing for years which is being at the fence and photographing

It was the news area indeed, so moved this part - at last.
And the third button top right is the report button, this is where you can read general board rule C.8. and the language in the news forum is English only. :twisted:
Thanks for the info though! :mrgreen:

I don’t know which base you are referring to Glidepath but the Su-22s are are Miroslawiec which is not a good place, at least on one end.

Malbork is great on one side but not too sure about the other side.

Possibly, yes....

The Sukhois are not stationed at Swidnin anymore,
but will spend their last days in 2024 at Miroslawiec, if I am correct....
