the role of 'sitting duck' as Lt.Cln. Marcel explains |

Putin's
'Bear-flights' are suddenly current again the recent years. |
![](/01-2014/PenV/Malbork/F-16%20Flying%20(6).jpg) |
For
the Dutch the scene is different, mostly they guard and 'accompany'
the uninvited Russian planes above sea. |

trained for. |

They
don't (yet) need specific protection, but in case they can be
defended bij fighters before they take any risk |

The
Poles are happy with the cooperation and extra support by the Dutch.
They can get along very well. |

NATO
took care of renovating the Malbork runway. This way the base will
continue to exist and safety is guaranteed. |

Airplanes
like the Russian Flanker and this SU-35 Beagle are formidable
opponents for the F-16's and Mig-29's ! |

![](/01-2014/PenV/Malbork/F-16%20Flying%20(1a).png) |
The
number of participating supporting aircraft is to be called modest,
still an attack on one is an attack to all |

detail is that some MIG's have famous aviators on their tail. |

The
training continues the day over and also late in the afternoon and
even at night |

The
Fulcrums have less checks compared to the F-16's and can be airborne
in no time. The F-16's are always prepared 'to the max'. |

Some
personell is housed in the neighbourhood of the base. They might
miss dinner, but there's a solution for everything ;-)) |

![](/01-2014/PenV/Malbork/Kitchen.jpg) |
At
the base itself there is a MSK (Mobile Sattelite Kitchen) with it's
own luxurious meny-card ! |

Malbork
also hosts other facilities like this Medevac action that we
witnessed. This Eurocopter EC-135 deliveres a seriously injured
person |
![](/01-2014/PenV/Malbork/Malbork%20(32b).JPG) |
The
person is transported to a fast jet which will take the stabilized
person to the nearest hospital |
![](/01-2014/PenV/Malbork/Malbork%20(32a).JPG) |
Probably
a life saving action. |

prepared for the next page of Malbork Airbase, knowing that on the
ground and in the air security is guaranteed ! |
