On May 29, 2026, the Arma Hobby team attended the anniversary celebrations of the 23rd Tactical Air Base near Mi\u0144sk Mazowiecki. The base carries over a century of Polish fighter aviation traditions \u2014 from the Ko\u015bciuszko Squadron and the 111th Fighter Squadron to the famous No. 303 and No. 316 Polish Fighter Squadrons, and later the 1st Fighter Aviation Regiment \u201cWarszawa\u201d.<\/p>\n

We arrived early to take part in the ceremonial roll call and the full military ceremony, including the presentation of awards, a parade, and a short performance by the military band.<\/p>\n

The ceremony took place in front of a technical hangar whose doors were decorated with a huge Polish checkerboard insignia and the emblem of the \u201cWinged Scythemen\u201d.<\/p>\n

A Black Hawk helicopter and various airfield support vehicles were displayed in the background. At the same time, forest fires were spreading near Wo\u0142omin, outside Warsaw. As a result, Dromader firefighting aircraft could be seen repeatedly taking off to battle the blaze.<\/p>\n
