2 June 2008 – Piacenza AB

Today, first, a military airport opens its doors to the public on the occasion of Republic Day. E’ un fatto così straordinario che…..piove.

The event was produced by a static interesting. 3 Tornadoes are exposed to armed. 1 IDS inside a shelter and 2 ECR all’aperto, both Special Color.

To all 3 I hang drills HARM, to bear witness to their vocation as hunters radar. Particularly fascinating the Special silver, with the paw of panther that pierce the fuselage: very beautiful and evocative.

To 3 bombers adding a F 16 the 23rd group of Cervia, piloted by none other than the Wing Commander.

The weather is very bad and does not leave a moment's respite to photograph in peace planes.

Only at the end the rain subsides a little bit to be able to leave the scene to a spectacular takeoff of the Greyhound of Cervia: Full AB and Immelmann just pull the wheel to find themselves at high altitude and in the opposite direction to the take-off. Immediately a viratona Schneider with abundant moisture from the strakes and way home.

We hope that such an event could be repeated every year, perhaps with a less lousy weather.
