Radom Airshow 2018 - 100 Years of Polish Air Force.

The Polish Air Force celebrates its 100th Anniversary this year and for the occasion many events are planned during next months. The main one is the Radom International Airshow 2018 that will take place at the Deblin Air Base, eastern Poland, on August 23-24.

The Radom Airshow 2018 is also one of the most important show of its kind in the world, it includes dozens of aerobatic teams, fighter jets and helicopters.

During an interview, General Kazimierz Dyński, Director of the Management Office of the Radom Airshow 2018, released important information.

"According to confirmations received to date, 14 countries intend to send their Demo Teams to Radom. They include famous European acrobatic patrols such as the "Frecce Tricolori" from Italy, the "Patrulla Aguila" from Spain, the "Patrouille Suisse" from Switzerland, the "Midnight Hawks" from Finland and the "Wings of Storm" from Croatia. The public will also be able to admire non-European teams such as the "Royal Jordanian Falcons" from Jordan and the Pakistani JF-17 and Mushack. Of course, our "Team Iskri" and "Team Orlik" will attend the show. We are currently negotiating with the Americans based in UK and the Canadians.

The program will also include solo demos such as the Hellenic F-16 Zeus Demo Team, the Turkish F-16 Solo Türk, the Czechs Gripen, L-159A Alca, Mi-17 and Mi-24/35, the Slovak MiG-29 and the Romanian MiG-21. Poland will be represented by the MiG-29 Fulcrum, the F-16 Tiger Demo Team, as well as helicopters."

In addition, the Polish Air Force will premiere the new M-346 "Bielik", the new training jet based in the airfield hosting the airshow.

Not Solo for JF-17? Means we have that team going in.

Yes solo display by both aircraft.

 

[Sinnerman108]

Yes solo display by both aircraft.

The problem here is immature decision from PAF again.

All the other teams are dedicated and very experienced acrobatic teams.
Whereas Jf is not in that league.

Why do intentionally get shadowed in a game which we are not experts at yet ?

PAC and PAF's main purpose is to market their products and not to perform aerobatics.
Else they would have sent the Sherdils if it were for just for display purpose.

Yes and that is precisely the problem.
When one goes to a show, where almost every aerobatic team is coming, then one expects the same level of display and stunts.

Irrespective of how good the product may be, the fact of the matter is that the pilot is not trained for this purpose.

Now, how does the PAF make decisions like so ?

Go through the detail, they are not all dedicated flying display teams.
At least i have never heard of such thing as RAF Typhoon display team.
Same goes with Greek and Romanian....they are just individual performers like the PAF.

We will see the results.
Can't argue with data.

There is some thing called as brand value, and image.
A Lange and Sohne are known for making great watches, and simplicity of their design.
A lot of times their watches may have less complications than Patek, Cartier etc.
But, Sohne is much much more expensive and respected.

BRAND VALUE !

 

[PradoTLC]

no LCA?

 

[YeBeWarned]

Inshallah more orders for SM..

 

[khanasifm]

Polish and paf has history and relationship so it’s more related to the historical relationship and 100 years but hey another avenue to present your product good for pac

 

[BATMAN]

All the other teams are dedicated and very experienced acrobatic teams.

I recognize only Swiss Air Force Patrouille Suisse as dedicated aerobic team.

They are not selling toothpaste or cold drinks. There is no such thing as brand value when it comes to military aircrafts. Educate yourself before commenting.
