Did any USAF Stealth planes ever fly over Poland while took part in some conflicts like Iraqi Freedom etc. ? I mean if there ever was a route over Poland for USAF planes during some conflicts in Iraq or Afganistan? The planes could travel across the Poland airspace on its wat back to US or on its way to enemy area...

Don't think so. It's a bit out of the way for a mission flight to overfly it I think.

There were extraordinary rendition flights flown in and out Poland, if memory serves, though. And I think AWACS started flying over Poland last year, as well.

I could say that AWACS was flying from time to time to Cracow even in 2012. I have some pics.

Actually alot of air force jets flew through Poland all the time on their way to and from Kyrgyzstan. We would fly out of England, go through Poland and Romania, before heading east towards Kyrgyzstan. Ducking under Russian territory and over Iranian. As for the stealth bombers on their 36 hour flights, Im pretty sure that they flew the same routing as we did to kyrgyzstan. Iran is a big ass country to avoid flying through.

Here's our usual routing to bishkek:

Awesome post!

Under International Law, does that allow the enemy to legally attack Poland or where ever is being flown over [ignoring International Waters Airspace].

i have no idea how that works.

a reply to: SmartsAreInfectious

Yes. But only after an initial attack. They couldn't go after an aircraft that they think is going to attack. But if they were able to track it on the outbound leg, they could go after it.

Their not stealth but their pretty cool anyway:

I gotta wonder though......

Did the two that diverted to Amsterdam really break? Or were they making a side trip?

The would probably not have landed at a civilian airport like Amsterdam Schiphol if that were the case.
Still cool as hell to have them flying in the neighborhood again
