The “Orlik” Aerobatic Team of the 42nd Training Air Base is the official ambassador of International AirSHOW Radom 2025.
The pilots from the “Orlik” Aerobatic Team of the 42nd Training Air Base represent our Air Force during numerous shows in the country and abroad. They made their debut on 22 July 1998 in Fairfield (Royal International Air Tattoo) in the UK. With this powerful entrance, the Orlik Team inaugurated their operations which is still being continued.
Since its establishment, the Team has performed several hundred displays at more than a hundred air shows. Each of the seasons was abundant in far-away flypasts, often in places that were exotic to Polish pilots. We need to remember that PZL-130 Orlik is an aircraft with a range of over 1,000 km, while its service ceiling is 9,000 m. The entire team have been performing their displays on PZL-130 TC-II Orlik aircraft since 2013. PZL-130 TC-II ORLIK is a single-engine, double-seater aircraft designed in Poland and equipped in a turboprop engine with a variable-pitch propeller. The aircraft design is fully metal with a retractable landing gear. The aeroplane was designed for the purpose of training military pilots. The pilots from the formation represent our Air Force during numerous shows in the country and abroad. They made their debut on 22 July 1998 in Fairfield (Royal International Air Tattoo) in the UK.
