The TS-11 Iskra is a legendary Polish combat-training aircraft that served in the Polish Air Force for nearly 60 years. Thanks to its reliability and ease of flying, it became the basic training machine for Polish military pilots, used for both basic and advanced training.

Thanks to the aerobatic teams: “Rombik”, ‘Iskry’ and then “White-Red Iskry”, over the years we could admire the capabilities of the Iskry and the piloting artistry of Polish pilot-instructors at numerous air shows. Their red-and-white painting and smoke in the colors of the national flag emphasized the patriotic character of the show.

Thanks to the efforts of the White-Red Wings Foundation, which is passionate about restoring and maintaining these historic machines in flying condition, the Iskras will take to the air again during the upcoming Picnic, providing spectators with an unforgettable experience!
