Calvin GiffordI will certainly add it to my bucket list. But the list is getting longer and I am getting older! LOL

Robert PodkońskiI am happy you like my photos. Frankly, it is one of my favourite places in Krakow 😉

Robert PodkońskiThat's something unusual indeed, Torsten. It is a pity that no model kit of this plane exists...

Robert PodkońskiMe too 😉 BTW, take a look at this device:

Oleg SmilykThank you for sharing.Robert.I'll have to do Iskra, it was a strong motivation 🙂

gorbyThanks for the photos Robert, it looks like it has a great collection.
Do you know what the aircraft in photo number 55 is? Looks very interesting.
10 October 2023, 16:29
Robert PodkońskiOf course I know that, Gorby 🙂 It is a private-venture prototype of training jet plane: en.wikipedia.org/wik..82owski_EM-10_Bielik. Unfortunately, only one was ever build and flown... The designer of this plane has also designed many interesting projects, like "Orka": en.wikipedia.org/wik..5%82owski_EM-11_Orka ; or "Gniady": samolotypolskie.pl/s../Aviata-GM-1-Gniady2. And now you have another reason to visit Poland... 😉

Robert PodkońskiI love this plane, too. The anecdote about the "name" of this plane: "Belphegor", is that during the Aviation Fair at Le Bourget Polish delegation was asked about that. There was no official, manufacturer established name for it, save PZL M-15, but on Polish TV there was at the same time a series "The Phantom of the Louvre"... so "Belphegor" it is 😉

Shar DipreeTHX for sharing. Great museum, lots of interesting aircraft types.
Didn't you take pictures of the Saab J35 Draken too?
10 October 2023, 19:34
Robert PodkońskiAll my pleasure, Shar. I am just happy to see interest. I suppose I have some photos of Draken exhibited in Kraków, and the one in Prague in my archive, but here is the one from Vienna:

Robert PodkońskiBez wątpienia 🙂 (szczęśliwy zbieg okoliczności, że hitlerowcy ewakuowali akurat P.11c z berlińskiego muzeum w stronę Wrocławia...)
