Since the time of the Battle of Britain, Polish pilots have enjoyed great admiration in the United Kingdom. Now, training exercises along the most famous route have once again drawn attention.
The Cobra Warrior 26-1 exercises are currently underway in the UK. Polish participants, flying F-16 Fighting Falcon jets, have impressed observers with their training flights. Their morning sortie was recorded by spectators gathered on a viewing hill, who eagerly watch fighter maneuvers between the hills of Snowdonia.
The pilots departed from RAF Waddington and headed for the famous Mach Loop route – a unique location on the map of the British Isles.
It is a well-known low-level training route for fast military jets, located in the valleys of Wales in the United Kingdom. Polish aviators are viewed by the British through the prism of the contribution made by Polish soldiers during the Battle of Britain in World War II, and to this day their skills continue to command great respect and admiration.
