ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF) two JF-17 Thunder and one Super Mushshak aircraft along with pilots, technicians and engineers of the PAF arrived at Air Base, Deblin (Poland) to participate in the Radom International Air Show 2018.

The Air Show is part of the celebrations of the 100th Anniversary of Polish Air Force, a press release issued here by PAF said.

The air-show will start on August 25, at the Radom-Sadkow Airport, Poland and would continue till August 26.

One PAF JF-17 and Super Mushshak aircraft would perform flying display, while another JF-17 aircraft would be put on static display.

The spectacular JF-17 aerial display is considered to be the major attraction of the show and would provide an excellent opportunity to showcase its cutting edge capabilities and allow potential customers to assess its immense potential.

The Polish folks were also very close to the Ottomans!! They were regularly employed in engineering, military etc. projects. Sultan Abdul Hamid Han delegated the duty to initially mine the areas around the Dardanelles straights to a Polish naval officer. And, he did such a great job that it helped the Turkish side during the Gallipoli invasion...

The weather ruined the show .The clouds were at low height so the aircraft was not much visible through the cloud layers .The Jf-17 performance was just normal not too good as compared to previous air show.
 
Air Commodore Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz (Urdu: ولوادیسیوف دورووچ‎) (23 April 1908 – 8 January 1980), usually referred to as W. J. M. Turowicz, was a Polish-Pakistani aviator, military scientist and aeronautical engineer.

Turowicz was the administrator of Pakistan's Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) from 1967 to 1970. He was one of forty five Polish officers and airmen who joined RPAF on contract in the early fifties. After completion of his initial contract, Turowicz opted to stay on in Pakistan and continued to serve in PAF and later, SUPARCO.

Turowicz made significant contributions to Pakistan's missile/rocket program as a chief aeronautical engineer. In Pakistan, he remains highly respected as a scientist and noted aeronautical engineer.

In 2005, PAF Museum, Karachi, placed a memorial plaque in the honour of Air. Cdre. Władysław Turowicz where both Polish and Pakistani civilian and military personnel attended. On this occasion the Consul General of the Republic of Poland in Karachi Ireneusz Makles profoundly thanked the PAF and especially Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman and other officers for their efforts to make this memorial a reality.
