Scramble Messageboard

Question, seen at Foligno a week or two ago was a S-208M (as stated on the side although they seem to be called U-208As in Scramble) in special colours for Centario Roma-Tokyo, 1920-2020, with the face of Lieutenant Arturo Ferrarin, one of the pilots involved. At Latina open day in March, Arturo was...

Noted yesterday, 29th June, at the pilot's graduation or "misdar knafayim" (order of wings) were the following:- Static - Current types 669 C-130J 103 Sqn 842 Beech 200T 100 Sqn 741 UH-60A 124 Sqn 142 OH-58B FTS 828 AH-64A 190 Sqn 104 M346 102 Sqn 481 T-6A FTS 886 F-16I 107 Sqn 223 F-15I 6...

Yesterday, 114 squadron put up no less than 11 Yassur helicopters for a formation "fly out" (the unit will deactivate shortly).
Serials (including an air-spare) were: 035, 036, 038, 044, 048, 052, 062, 063, 065 (S-65s) plus 914, 917, 985 (CH-53As)

Yes indeed for 70-31, and no, the S.208 listed in Eurodemobbed was probably an example on overhaul 8 years ago, & not a preserved a/c.

Apart from a bellisimo F-104 the OMA company also appear to overhaul AMI piston types, and :shock: just as per Google maps, in their yard is an SF260 (70-21, or was it 31, sorry too much Grenache rose) and an engineless S208M in full 100 years markings with a famous aviator on the tail, but at the w...

Noted whilst taxiing in from Rome this afternoon, June 22nd was Qatari AF C-17A "MAB" adjacent to which were, I believe two helicopters (A7-J## was one), identified elsewhere as A169s, A7JWD, JWE &/or JWF. Bit of a bonus ball (the Moose) after a fab week in Italy (more when I get home ...

MM62157/EI.102 was towed out to join it's pals MM62156/EI.101 & MM62158/EI.103 around 07.30 this morning.

Perhaps overlooked by K2G but certainly of interest to some are a few preserved aircraft seen while entering through the main gate: Corner of V Arno/V di Pratica MM7018/RS06 Tornado; Main gate MM6248/"7" G-91PAN; further in (but visible from gate) (MM54201)/RS18 MB326; next, MM579/RS11 G-9...

A quick look over the fence around 14.00 today 17th June;
NW ramp (MM62303)/14-12 G550CAEW

SE ramp MM62228/(14-03) B767, VF-145 AW139, MM62211 P.180 "MARINA" plus one in standard AMI White/blue colours, anyone note that?

Re the museum at Piana della Orme, in late April their G-91 wasn't available, apparently at another location being restored for static display.

I rather think the Académie Française would have something to say about 1 "drone"

"WEATHERFORD/STAFFORD RAP, OK 11-5-2023"
No sign of the F-117?

Arriving this evening for an exchange visit to the IAF Flight Test Centre (מנ"ט) were two Tornado ECRs from TLG51. These flew Jagel to Brindisi, continuing after lunch to Tel Nof where they were joined by two F-16Ds from the FTC for a tour of Israel before landing. Each carried four (what I ass...
