Miroslawiec Air Base used to be the home of the Sukhoi Su‐22M3 tactical regiment. A few years ago the Suk‐
hoi squadrons relocated to Swidwin Air Base. The Su‐22M3s were replaced with a squadron of Orbiter Un‐
manned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) used for Aerial reconnaissance.
The Polish Air Force and Naval Air Arms organized an Open Day on September 3, and just about all their cur‐
rent and past flying inventory were exhibited to the public. The static line consisted of MiG‐21, MiG‐29, Su‐
22, and F‐16 tactical combat aircrafts, PZL W‐2, W‐3, W‐4, and Mil Mi‐24 helicopters, M‐28, C‐235 and C‐130
transport, PZL‐130 basic and TS‐11 advanced trainer aircraft.
The flying program included performances by the Mi‐14 and Super Seasprite maritime helicopters, search
and rescue demonstration by the PZL W‐3 and Mi‐24 helicopters, a solo display by the MiG‐29 and F‐16 com‐
bat aircraft. The "Biało‐Czerwone Iskry" Team (Red‐White Spark) performed as well in their old TS‐11 Iskra
jets.
There was a parachute jump demo from a M‐28 Bryza aircraft. At the end of a full day program, attendees
could view a series of historical aircraft stationed at Miroslawiec Air Base from the beginning.

Over all the show was excellent, well organized, free to attend and with an interesting flying program.
