Celebrating National Armed Forces Day in Poland on 15th September 2018 we couldn’t forget about 100th Anniversary of Polish Military Aviation as well as 100th Anniversary of Polish Independence. Similar as in previous years, on this occation the official parade were organised, along with Aviation part of Warsaw incorporating many aircraft from Poland and abroad.

This year’s (2018) event was much bigger and more impressive than previous ones, that’s why its place was changed from Presidental Palace to Old Town and Vistula River area. Both ground part as well as aviation one were very well maintained. In the air the spectators may have seen helicopters like Mi-2, Mi-14 or Mi-24 as well as aircraft like Casa C-295, C-130 or B737 and G550 in F-16 escort. It i salso worth mentioning the participation of C-130 Hercules aircraft from USAF as well as 4 modern F-22 fighters from USAF, what was a great surprise for everyone.

Thanks to cooperation with Polish Armed Forces General Command we had the possibility to take aerial pictures during these celebration with the usage of additional helicopter. The photoship was a PZL W-3 aircraft from 1st Airlift Base and the cooperation with pilots were amazing thanks to whom we were able to take pictures of all formations from the air! Take a look for the pictures below.
