This was the first Radom Air Show to be held since the airfield has been repurposed for dual civil / military use. A passenger terminal has been built at the Western end of the airfield.
It was a challenging day due to high temperatures (38c), humidity and a very strong sun.
The Polish Red Cross were kept very busy treating people who had collapsed with heat related issues and carting them off to the medical centre using four wheel all terrain bikes with a stretcher on the back.

Photography was challenging due to the aircraft being individually fenced off and large crowds. I lost count of how many people took 'selfies' in front of the Polish F-16D
with a cuddly tiger on the wing, but I eventually got a clear shot of it. This is what I managed to grab before seeking some shade and fluids.
The show was also marking the end of service for the Polish Air Force Mig-29s and Sukhoi Su-22s which are being retired or going elsewhere this year.
