Malbork AB 11-13 April 2023

After months of planning, we finally made our way to Malbork and arrived outside the fence on the Tuesday. Despite no training flights being booked on the Tuesday our first action came in the form of a CAP.

On the Wednesday, we saw a QRA launch on arrival followed by some a 4 ship training sortie in the afternoon.

On the Thursday, we got another CAP and then an Mi-2 before the afternoon's training, with a 3 ship up twice followed by a single in the evening

Thanks for sharing these, absolutely wonderful to see these, especially the ninth shot, if the Mug 29UB, with lots of lovely clag behind it. A great selection of shots you've provided for our enjoyment.

Thanks! That approach was very memorable, believe it was flown by Poland’s first female fighter pilot. We sure saw some impressive flying throughout!
