Re: Istrana AB Open House 51 Stormo 7th Sept

MM81822 & F-35B of course :oops: Our initial thought on the 2nd a/c from the line of 16 was (MM71)26 which was not between 7114 & 7167 (sorry, can't be bothered to put brackets round all the MM71s) at the March event. However, 7196 was between 55049 & 7191 in March. I don't doubt your ph...
