Next Friday, June 12, the first Polish F-35 fighters will conduct a flight across the country called «Greetings from Poland.» They will take off from Łask and fly over Kraków, Warsaw, and Gdańsk.
At the end of May, the first three Polish F-35 fighters arrived at the 32nd Tactical Air Base in Łask. In total, Poland has ordered 32 fifth-generation aircraft produced by the American company Lockheed Martin. The delivery of all aircraft is expected to be completed by 2029.
The Deputy Head of the Polish Ministry of Defense, Cezary Tomczyk, stated that the planes «are purchased by Polish taxpayers who agreed to such significant defense expenditures.» As a sign of gratitude, he noted that on June 12, the campaign called «Greetings from Poland» will begin.
The exact flight times over Gdańsk, Warsaw, and Kraków are:
📍 Gdańsk — Westerplatte area | around 9:45
📍 Warsaw — along the Vistula near the Citadel | around 10:10
📍 Kraków — over the Vistula near Wawel Hill | around 10:35
The flight will be covered in real-time on social media. However, the display depends on weather conditions. After the flight, the fighters will return to their base in Łask, where an official welcome will take place.
