25.09.2018 - Polsko: obnoveny lety letounů Su-22, MiGy-29 stále uzemněny

After the accident, the airplane Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 which killed its pilot on 6. July 2018, have been grounded not only aircraft, MiG-29, but also aircraft Sukhoi Su-22. The reason is that both aircraft use the same type of ejection seat. And it seems that when the above accident occurred to a malfunction on this system. The only jet aircraft in service so far have been a machine General Dynamics / Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon. Of course the situation begins to be problematic both in terms of the training of the pilots flying on the Su-22 and MiG-29, and ensure the airspace of Poland. Again starting the operation of the aircraft Su-22 this is only a partial solution to the problem.
