Every year PL AF command deploys Krzesiny based F-16 unit to Malbork for Squadron Exchange exercise. MiGs and Viper pilots are flying toghether in mulitiple missions and configurations. This year additionally two Su22s arrived to join COMAO formation. I couldn't miss such opportunity to catch F-16, Fulcrums and Fitters on one airfield. Here is my photo report:

It is :)

Great set, Bartek. Is the Polish air force generally positive towards spotters and aviation enthusiasts?

Thanks!
