Thank you all for the appreciation! :clap: One based aircraft on static display - fantastic effort from the home team! I'd see it the other way round: a fantastic effort that they let us in! Who knows... maybe a small step for a spotter, a giant leap for the Wing's leadership? Let's hope the best fo...

On 21 May Aviano AB hosted a bunch of local and non-local aviation enthusiasts to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the 31st FW reactivation on the base in northeastern Italy.

He...

Thank you guys for the appreciation!

Spent a few hours at Aviano to try and catch the Dutch that arrived the previous day for their annual deployment for training in the alpine environment.

Hi everyone!
...not so new to the forum, after years of peeping I'd like to be more active!
I've been for 30 years an aviation, photo and radio enthusiast, hopefully I'll be able to provide you something from NE Italy, where I live. NE Italy means Istrana and Aviano air bases...!
Best regards!
