PZL I-22 Iryda.
The PZL I-22 Iryda aircraft was a training and combat aircraft developed at PZL Mielec by Polish constructors, engineers and technicians. The plane was powered by two turbojet engines, designed and produced by Polskie PZL Rzeszów.
The plane was briefly used by the Polish Army in military schools in Dęblin and Radom. As a result of political actions, it was withdrawn from operation. A few copies went to museums, and most were scrapped.
