Colleagues from 22nd Tactical Air Base in Malbork provide its full professionalism and determination. - At the beginning I was not treated seriously, but I grew up on a hard and crone - says Katarzyna .

They actually do, but as far as I know they all all modernized.
Part of them Poland got from Germany.
However the point here is that a woman finally became a fighter pilot in Poland :)
About time :)

Janina Levandowska (1908-1940 KatyƄ)

There is a controversy as to whether she was a military or civilian pilot and whether her rank--Second Lieutenant--was real.
But she was posthumously promoted to the rank of Lieutenant by Minister of National Defense on Oct 5, 2007.

People like kondzior. I do not know your opinion towards women, so I cannot judge that.
Bob for sure.
