Also this year the Monza Grand Prix takes place on the historic circuit located in the middle of the largest enclosed park in Europe.
And this year is a special edition: are celebrated i 100 years of the fastest circuit in the world.
So this year was to be celebrated in a special way and what better occasion to present the latest Airbus A to the public 350 of ITA Airways that, Moreover, bears the name of the greatest sports car manufacturer of all time: Enzo Ferrari.
A small appetizer of what would have happened on Sunday could be seen on Thursday in the early afternoon, when an Airbus ITA began circling low over the north-eastern suburbs of Milan. In this case it was the EI-IFD, the only a 350 of the fleet colored totally in white, with the inscription “BORN TO BE SUSTAINABLE” on the fuselage.
After trying a few approaches and passages on the starting line of the racetrack he was joined by 2 MB 339 of the Frecce Tricolori from Ghedi who tried the reunifications and "took measures" for what would later happen on Sunday with the complete formation of nine aircraft
Luck has it that my house is in a good position under the circuit normally traveled to make circuits and passages for Monza and of course I did not miss the opportunity
Here you can find some photos
Sunday, armed with scanners and Canon, i set up from 13:30 on hold. First of all I looked for the EI-IFE, the Enzo Ferrari, su Flightradar. Unfortunately it was not in flight but it didn't take long to reveal the mystery. The EI-IFF "Enzo Bearzot" AZ8034 from Fiumicino to Fiumicino I found near the Island of Elba, at high altitude but at an unusually low speed, less than 300 knots: it was probably early and who knows why, replaced the "Enzo Ferrari"
The Frecce Tricolori took off around 14:20 from Ghedi and came towards Milan. Meanwhile the A 350, which in the meantime has become RED034 in frequency (it could not be called in any other way) began to circle a 1500 walk around my house. The weather conditions of this period, photographically, I'm usually a sucker. This year, with this heat, if possible even worse. The humidity and the glare of the sun don't help but I do my best running among the 2 sides of the apartment to photograph Frecce and '350 in the best possible way.
In the end, the Patrol starts first and passes the Autodrome with tricolor fumes to the tune of the Mameli Hymn, this year sung by Bocelli. From the trajectory of the Airbus, I sense that the reunification will take place on the other side of the apartment. I run in corridors and I find them in front of me, turning, approaching. GREAT!!!!
I see them straighten up and begin their approach to the Brianza circuit. sento pony 1 call in frequency the transformation to Alona….stop it like this,,,,,colored…….GOAAAA!
Always a great emotion
To you photos
