Arkady72 4,433 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Today I spent half a day at Świdwin Air Base in the fumes of jet fuel. At the invitation of my friend Darek I had the opportunity to closely look at the real exercises... I love our Su-22 and this day was really unforgetable.

upnorth 844 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Wow! I seriously envy you your access to active examples of this aircraft. I arrived in the Czech Republic some years too late to see their Su-22s in any place other than museums. Edited June 2, 2011 by upnorth Link to post Share on other sites

Paul 27 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thanks for sharing those great pictures There is something beautiful about the SU-22, its like a swing wing Mig-21! Link to post Share on other sites
rmcclure 390 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Ancient history now, of course, but it's still staggering to those of us old enough to have served during the Cold War that pictures like this are so available on a forum like this. Incredible. Link to post Share on other sites

upnorth 844 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 There is something beautiful about the SU-22 It's the same brand of beauty the Buccaneer has. Both aircraft have that brutal beauty that makes them look like you could fly them full tilt into a brick wall and they'd come out the other side unscathed. Link to post Share on other sites
mrcooljules 2 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 nice fotos of my fave plane, seen lots of real DDR ones, and been to a place in W Poland once. i only drive to poland for the vodka, the fuel, the tobacco (and the girls)...i really need to see more aircraft though :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Arkady72 4,433 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Great pics, many thanks for sharing, you lucky man! Oh, yes, I felt extremely happy that day! It's the same brand of beauty the Buccaneer has. Both aircraft have that brutal beauty that makes them look like you could fly them full tilt into a brick wall and they'd come out the other side unscathed. Nicely said. This pictorial is a tribute to all peoples working at the base. In each place, I met very friendly peoples. They are very professional. I'm glad you liked the pictures.
