From Jacek Siminski, Aviationist:  According to the official webppage of Krzesiny AB, the 31. Tactical Air Base near Poznan, Poland was visited by over 50 officials, including high officers of Chinese Air Force , as part of a study tour of Europe organized by the Command of People’s Republic of China Air Force.

Among the visitors there were commanders of squadrons, pilots of combat units and students of aviation schools.

The main aim of the Chinese visit was to get acquainted with the equipment used by the most modern F-16 base in the Central-Eastern Europe. The visitors were welcomed by Brigadier General Włodzimierz Usarek – the commander of the 2. Tactcal Aviation Wing, and Colonel Jacek Pszczoła – the commander of the 31. AB. . . .

It is quite interesting to see a visit of officials from a country that is considered as an adversary by NATO in one of the most modern bases in the Central-Eastern Europe.  (photo: R. Najder/Aviationist)
