ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

LIMB Milan Bresso 28/5/23 – Grumman HU-16 Albatross

Post by Dysko »

Another vintage visitor in Bresso! A Grumman HU-16B is parked in Milan's general aviation airport since last week. This plane came from the USA for a fly-by above the historical car meeting Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este (where one of the owners had a car on display). Due to an engine issue, it is currently parked in Bresso.

According to the owners' website, this plane was built in 1951 for the USAF, and it is a rare ski-equipped variant. After serving in both Korean and Viet Nam Wars, it was transformed by the current owners in a luxury flying RV.
