The Polish Air Force has given one of its iconic aircraft – the two-seat Sukhoi Su-22UM3K (tail number 509) – a festive, commemorative makeover. The aircraft now sports a striking livery that combines the classic old camouflage on the forward fuselage with modern two-tone grey on the rear, and proudly displays a “40” on the tailfin painted in the colors of the Polish flag. This special design not only pays tribute to 40 years of service by the Fitter fleet but also serves as a vibrant reminder of an era that reshaped Polish military aviation.
