The Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków, remaining faithful to its mission of preserving the memory of the most outstanding representatives of Polish aviation, wishes to inform about a fundraising campaign for Eng. Henryk Bronowicki — a distinguished test pilot who is currently facing serious health problems.
Henryk Bronowicki is an exceptional figure in the history of Polish aviation. Born on 9 February 1948 in Kozłów, for decades he served Polish aviation as a civilian test pilot at the PZL Mielec plant. He flight-tested 488 newly produced aircraft, including the An-2, M-18 Dromader, M-28 Skytruck, TS-11 Iskra and I-22 Iryda. His impressive record includes over 14,000 flights on 56 different aircraft types, of which 3,283 hours were spent in the air as a test pilot. After completing his service in Mielec, he took up work as an airline pilot with Eurolot.
Today, in retirement, he needs our support.
Therefore, the Museum — in a spirit of solidarity with the aviation community — is spreading information about the ongoing fundraiser, with the hope that it will reach the widest possible circle of people of goodwill who feel part of this history and — if they wish and are able — will join in this noble form of assistance.

We believe that the fate of a man who devoted his life to the development of Polish aviation will not leave indifferent those who value the courage, knowledge and passion of the pioneers of Polish aviation.
We also encourage you to visit the YouTube channel with the wonderful aviation stories of Mr Henryk Bronowicki!
