The FA-50GF aircraft dedicated to Poland are operated at the 23rd Tactical Air Base in Mińsk Mazowiecki. The FA-50GF is a modern and versatile aircraft, used both for training NATO pilots and as a light combat support plane—adapted to carry a wide range of weaponry (missiles, bombs, pods). All FA-50GF aircraft are painted in the distinctive grey-green camouflage pattern of the Polish Air Force.
