>A Polish delegation headed by Air Force Inspector Maj. Gen. Ireneusz Nowak, which has been in the Republic of Korea since Monday, visited the Korea Aerospace Industries plant in Sacheon on June 26, where, among other things, FA-50 aircraft are manufactured.
>As we can see in the photo from the production hall, the delegation also includes the Commander of the 1st Tactical Air Wing - Brig. Gen. Piotr Iwaszko and the Commander of the 23rd Tactical Air Base - Col. Pil. Adam Kalinowski. In their background you can see the first of the FA-50PL aircraft numbered 5013 at an advanced stage of production. The aircraft is already painted, which means that ahead of it is only the work of retrofitting the last components, functional tests and flight tests. I wrote “only,” but unfortunately the work will most likely be halted due to the integration of new avionics and weapons systems, which are experiencing delays for reasons beyond KAI's control. While the development of software for the mission computer and other avionics components will be time-consuming, the mere assembly of the components on the aircraft and installation of the software will be short-lived processes.
>It is also worth recalling Gen. Nowak's familiarization flight of the KF-21 prototype two-seat version of the aircraft, which was announced on Tuesday and which took place as planned.
