EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the PZL-Swidnik W-3W Sokol 0613 (msn 0613) of the Polish Army, captured around the turn of the millennium. The W-3W Sokol, manufactured by PZL-Swidnik, is a versatile military transport helicopter, which first flew in 1984. The "Sokol" moniker translates to "Sparrowhawk" in English, reflecting its agile and powerful nature. The Polish Army's W-3W Sokol helicopter fleet has been a vital component of the country's military aviation since the late 1980s. The helicopter is renowned for its versatility, as it can be used for various roles, including troop transport, medical evacuation, search and rescue, and reconnaissance. This particular W-3W Sokol, bearing the registration number 0613, is seen here in its military livery, showcasing the Polish Army insignia on its side. The W-3W Sokol is a twin-engine, multi-role helicopter, featuring a spacious cabin that can accommodate up to 16 troops or 12 stretchered patients. Its advanced design includes a glass cockpit, providing excellent visibility for the pilots and enhancing situational awareness. The helicopter is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T-3B turboshaft engines, delivering impressive performance and reliability. This photograph offers a glimpse into the Polish Army's aviation capabilities during the late 1990s and early 2000s, showcasing the versatile and powerful W-3W Sokol helicopter in its element. The image serves as a testament to the Polish military's commitment to maintaining a modern and effective fleet, ensuring the safety and readiness of its personnel.
