THUNDER IN THE VALLEY AS POLISH F-16s AND FINNISH F-18s TACKLE THE MACH LOOP - 4K

[@konfeush]

Great to see Finnish, Polish, American Italian and all participants from the Alliance in one formation. Greetings from Warsaw. PS. I hope that this time the British Queen (or King) will allow Poles to take part in the victory parade. I'm sorry, but it hurts me a lot how Britain treated Polish soldiers after 1945. Despite everything, I am grateful that we are in one alliance.

Tu nie chodzi o wygląd ale o skuteczność. To było ćwiczenie niskiego przelotu. Fin i Brytol zeszli w dolinę a nasz poleciał do słońca.

The Polish F-16 with the "Bielik" (eng White Tailed Eagle) paint job - what a feast for the eyes. Btw have you ever seen a Bielik in real life? It looks so majestic with its hombre like plumage and yellow beak.

[@DafyddPhillips]

it's a stunning jet. thanks for watching

Myślisz o tym F-16 z 0:58? To nie bielik, lecz kruk, symbol myśliwców z Poznania.

The bird painted on the polish F16 of the 3rd Tactical Air Squadron is a RAVEN and has been painted on the planes of the Tactical Air Base "Poznań" since 1928.

Thanks Charles, the Texans are based just north of the loop so are probably more familiar with the terrain and also helicopters are permitted lower.

at morning chow, the F-16, F-18, and Euro fighter pilots are talking about who has the best fighter. later they go out and see who is king. as they fly about an F-15 is high overhead and says to himself, "it's lunch time" as he turns in. at evening chow, the F-22 pilot says, "they never felt a thing.......".

Is it just me or are American pilots so concerned about looking up at sheep they head for the clouds?. Brits, Poles, Greeks and Finns don't seem to mind coming back covered in grasshoppers and leaves but your average Yank just seems to get the jitters below ten thousand hamburgers. They need to learn from Ukraine, these days, unless they have to stop and open farm gates some mud hole dweller is going to take them out with a Manpad every time.
