Forum: Introduce Yourself

Dear Members,

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tomasz, and I'm Polish – by birth, citizenship, residence [Link pending approval] to the bones. I live in Warsaw and make my living as an English translator / interpreter.

I've been interested in modern military aviation for years; since 1998 I haven't missed a single Air Show organised in Poland. Quite naturally, I'm interested in the F-16 more than in any other jet, since Poland is about to receive its first Block 50-52 Vipers to be delivered under the "Contract of the Century" between the Polish and US governments.

I'm very fond of flight sims of different genre, and obviously Falcon [Link pending approval] is my sim of choice at the moment. Surely I do realise the vast differences between even the best sim and Real Life flying, but at least the sim gives me a hint of all the complexities of the flight / weapons control systems and avionics. This, in turn, frequently causes RL flying – related questions; hence my decision to register at this Forum, which I'm sure I'll enjoy very much. Very Happy

With best wishes and regards to All,
Tomasz ('TClaymore')

Hi Tomasz,

Welcome to this forum and thank you for the thorough introduction! If you ever pick up information about the Polish F-16s in the local newspapers, please let us know.

Best regards,
Lieven

Hey Tomasz,

How are you doing? I just wanted to tell you I was in Warsaw back in November of 2003 giving an F-16 Mechanical Systems Familiarization Course to a bunch of your Air Force Folks. I've got to tell you, Warsaw was the most incredible place I've ever been.

There was a translator/interpreter named Monica who I remember worked for an PAF/ADF General, man she was hot and really nice, maybe you know her.

At the time I was an F-16 Instructor for Lockheed and I was for five years, I'm with the JSF F-35 Program now, but the Viper will always be "The Fighter of choice for me".

Take it easy bro.

Gilmore.

Thank you for the warm welcome and kind words, gentlemen.
Very encouraging, I may even start to post in these [Link pending approval]
Happy Gilmore - I'm glad you liked it here in Warsaw.

I've been to the US a couple of times, once even managed to visit the Capitol (Washington DC) with an official Polish delegation (not related to aviation, though).

Regards to All,
Tomasz

Poland is great, and Wroclaw kicks a$$! If you're ever in Wroclaw, visit the local BMW repair shop, these guys are the greatest! They fixed my BMW when I got stuck there once. The owner said I was the best brake man ever after he towed my 525 with his 325.
