Warsaw Chopin Airport is the most convenient airport to choose. You can easily get to the bus station "Metro Wilanowska" or Central Railway Station from there. Radom is located about 100 kilometres from Warsaw, in my opinion the best type of travel is "Polski Bus". You can book cheap tickets here: http://www.polskibus.com/en/index.htm (they're available 1-2 months before trip).

There are many cheap hotels and hostels in Radom, but you have to hurry up. It's hard for me to recommend something, because I always stay in a private house in Radom, but Hotel Iskra is not expensive and popular. I don't know any camping there, but many people sleep at the field near airport: https://www.google.pl/maps/place/Dziubi ... 21.2078834

Generally public transport in Radom is pretty good, if you find a place to sleep in the city centre, it won't be a problem to get to the base.

Former Polish Minister of Defence announced that the show will also take place at Dęblin, but it's not confirmed now. Probably some aircraft will be stationed there, but it's too early to talk about it. The show always starts at 9 am (door open at 8), ends at 7 pm, first 3 hours are given to civilian teams. We don't have any official news so it's hard to answer your question, hope to get something in February.

Thanks for that, I had places booked but until more details are known it is difficult to know whether to do it on your own or in a group tour.

As i see, this will be aerobatic teams airshow... So far nothing rare. :confused:
Maybe there will be Turskish Stars instead of Solo Turk, Midnight Hawks instead of Hornet solo, also we can expect Al Fursan or Saudi Hawks...

We will need wide-angle lenses, not tele-zoom this time.

+ The Royal Jordanian Falcons

There are some rumors in local media about USAF F-35 display... Pakistan, Ukraine and Czech Republic might also send something to Radom, it would be great to see Sherdils, Flanker and Gripen ;)

That will not happen 100%. :)
But something like JF-17, Su-24 from Ukr AF, Couteau Delta ( or some other good Mirage 2000 display), Hellenic or Turkish F-4, maybe someting from Chinese would be very good and unexpected.

In any other case, this will be ordinary European airshow...

Radom's never been the unique airshow, I don't expect anything rare even this year (except Romanian MiG-21 and Ukrainian Flanker). LOT Polish Airlines may send their B787 Dreamliner, that would be a nice surprise. It's still going to be one of the most interesting events in Europe, current line-up is really good :)

I must agree with you, but this year edition of Radom is great opportunity to become unique. You celebrate 100 years only once. :)

Flanker, LanceR plus Polish Fitters and Fulcrums would suit me just fine :grin:
