Another great museum!

Robert Podkoński
Yes it is, Calvin 😉 You should visit this museum for sure.

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

Michael Kohl
Looks like another good reason to visit Krakow.

Robert Podkoński
One of the main reasons, Michael 😉

Marcel Klemmer
Thanks for sharing the pictures 👍

All my pleasure, Marcel 🙂

Torsten
THX for sharing, the Belphegor is the most interesting for me 😎

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

Torsten
I would immediately buy a kit of it 😄

Robert Podkoński
Me too 😉 BTW, take a look at this device:
samolotypolskie.pl/s..IL-Lala-1-PZL-Lala-1

Torsten
Nice, THX 🙂

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

Thanks 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.

Robert Podkoński
Of 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... 😉

gorby
Thanks for the information Robert. 👍

I 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 Dipree
THX for sharing. Great museum, lots of interesting aircraft types.
Didn't you take pictures of the Saab J35 Draken too?

Robert Podkoński
All 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:

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