VMFA117_Poko Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 I love the way in wich we Poles change in translation meaning of many movies, books and... F-16s. Do You want to know name of polish Falcon? "Jastrzab" - means Hawk :doh: . Don't know why they have done that... There was a competion for the name. The propositions were really funny. Best one: "predatory potato beetle". I'm not kidding! Ask Shaman. Man... I leave this without commentary. Cheers! 1

Shaman Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 I just hope that Polish F-16s will be called "Bielik" not "Kaczka". We'll know after 11th this month. I'll be there on 9th when they arrive. 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer
Pilotasso Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 In my country the 201 squad that operates them are named "Falcões" Falcons...duh! They used to operate F-86's and disbanded in early 80's without any AA planes. They were Re-established in 1994 at the delivery of the first Block 15 ADF falcons. Theres another F-16 squad arround 302 "jaguars" taking deleivery of the MLU's right now (used to operate A-7's). .
Force_Feedback Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 So, can they operate from secondary airfields (extra wide and straight pieces of road, with some extra asphalt layers and such) T-2 posts till 1.666 \m/ post count :P Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:

Force_Feedback Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Nooooooooow, not miss piggy, noooooooooo. Seriousely, will the F-16 be able to take off and land (more than once lol) from highway strips? Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
Pilotasso Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Depends. IF you have high tension cables and tree branches above it, then no. :) Otherwise yes. We have F-16's landing and taking off from realy small airstrips here. SOme of them are litle wider than roads. .
HRZ Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Actually, "Jastreb" (croatian version fo the word) is IMO pretty cool name.
VMFA117_Poko Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 Actually, "Jastreb" (croatian version fo the word) is IMO pretty cool name. I mean why whatever change the name? We don't have any falcons yet. We won't have any original configurations of 16s to change the code name. I don't really think I will change the way I call it and pilots here either.
hitman Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 More cartoons from Nikelodeon heh?

I saw some photos from excercises in Germany when dutch (or norwegian...?) 16s land on the autobahns on not so long distance between two viaducts.
