Amen
It's safe to say, since this area once belonged to Mexico, yes, it has more Mexicans and people of Mexican heritage than a city up north.

Yep, The Polish Air Force now has several F-16s. I have seen a couple of them here on test flights around Ft. Worth (Texas) before they were delivered to Poland. They are also replacing their old Russian transports with American C-130s.
Yes, its a MIG29-UB (2 seater version) ..a holdover from the old days.
judging by aircraft that would be my last choice

Don't know the answer to that but there seem to be a lot more written in the Polish version of that site and perhaps there is something there?

I like the artwork on this Polish Fighter jet. It is not standard insignia of course.
is whether there is a person who we know is an inventor of the symbol

Immigration is nothing new. People will always migrate. Otherwise you might yourself still be somewhere in Africa. All of us came from there, and migrated.
Who knows, since the downturn in the economy is less pronounced in Poland, you may find yourself cleaning toilets there some day! :-D
