I am informed that as of "last week" neither of the F-104s (@ N41.05177, E14.06563) were still there.

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 ...
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...
