On 18 December 2017, one of the MiG-29's stationed here crash landed in a forest near Kałuszyn while performing a landing approach.[1] The pilot survived. Reports afterward were contradictory whether he ejected or not.[citation needed] On 21 December 2017, the MoD confirmed that the pilot did not eject.[2] This was the first crash of a MiG-29 during its nearly 3 decades long operational history in the Polish Air Force.[3] The second crash followed on 4 March 2019. This time the pilot ejected and survived.[4]
