U.S and Polish C-130s Take Part In Joint Drills At Powdiz, One Of The Most Important Bases On NATO’s Eastern Flank
March 28, 2019 Jacek Siminski
We attended the Media Day of Aviation Detachment 19-1. Here’s what we have seen.
Over the course of last month Powidz airbase has hosted a Polish-US aviation/ and cargo/personnel drop training event, involving C-130 aircraft. About 100 US airmen from the 181th Airlift Squadron 136th Airlift Wing stationed in Fort Worth in Texas took part in the latest Aviation Detachment rotation held at the Polish base of Powdiz.
During the last 4 weeks US crews have been involved in exchange of experience with their Polish colleagues, training together with the Powidz 33rd Airlift Base’s personnel. The joint operations also involved the Polish Air Force’s 2nd Tactical Aviation Wing, 12th Mechanized Division and 6th Airborne Brigade of the Polish Army, as well as some of the elements of the special operations component.
