Welcome

This project started back at the end of the Cold War, when the former Eastern Bloc countries began to embrace freedom.  The military began to sell off their aircraft, including this one from the Polish Air Force.  This website tells the story of one such aircraft.....

History of the Airplane

The Tadeusz Soltyk-11 (TS-11) Iskra is a two-seat primary jet trainer designed and developed by Poland-based Panstwowe Zaklady Lotnicze (PZL)-Mielec for the Polish Air Force (PoAF) and the Indian Air Force (IAF). PZL-Mielec produced approximately 424 TS-11s between 1963 and 1987.

Pilot Background

Pete Freeland was able to fly a plane by himself before he could drive a car alone.  With over 1500 hours in aircraft ranging from the B-52 bomber to Cessnas he is adding the Iskra to his resume.  As a former military pilot and civilian test pilot, and a working aerospace engineer he is the perfect person to lead this effort.
