The highly anticipated Antidotum Airshow Leszno, scheduled for June 21-22, 2024, will feature a stunning performance by the Polish Air Force's newest demonstration team, the M-346 Demo Team.

The M-346 Demo Team from the Polish Air Force is all set to showcase their exceptional flying abilities at the Antidotum Airshow Leszno 2024. The team is from the 4th Training Aviation Wing, which is situated at the renowned 41st Training Air Base in Deblin, Poland. The M-346 Demo Team is the second team from the Polish Air Force confirmed to participate in the event after yesterday’s announcement of the F-16 Tiger Demo Team's participation.

The M-346 Demo Team is a relatively new demonstration team of the Polish Air Force, formed just last year. They made their debut at the 2023 Radom Airshow and were highly praised for their incredible performance. As a result, they received a special award from the General Commander of the Polish Armed Forces, which was a replica of a knife used by the Polish Armed Forces during the Second World War between 1940 and 1944.

The team is comprised of two skilled demo pilots, Major Adrian "Chudy" Chudzinski and Major Robert "Killer" Jel, who are both highly experienced and talented pilots. Along with the pilots, there are also safety observers, a commentator, technicians, and many others who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the M-346 Demo Team's success.

Major Adrian "Chudy" Chudzinski, one of the demo pilots, is from Leszno. Therefore, it is going to be a special show for him as he returns to his hometown to perform his incredible aerial manoeuvres. Major Robert "Killer" Jel, on the other hand, has the distinction of being the first pilot in Poland to exceed 1,000 hours of flight time on the M-346 Bielik aircraft.

The M-346 Demo Team has a 10-minute demonstration, which showcases some of the most impressive manoeuvres the aircraft can perform. They include loops, rolls, and high-G turns, among others. The team's demonstration is a testament to the skill and dedication of the pilots and the entire team behind them.
