They had towed MM7288/4-40 to a position in front of the flightline near the other eurofighters on Saturday afternoon. This should be the one you are looking for. Cheers John

Are you saying the same T-346's and EF.2000's took part in the '100' flypast on Saturday as on Friday??
Guess there are a few people would like to know this!

Anyone who is able to tell which special tail match to which number off frecce?
Still have some gaps from earlier this year
GIPS number '12' and number '0' wore their usual Frecce c/s.
special tail
0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 (missing at Pratica) / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11
5 was special tail but, during May 2023, has been recoded (no more '5' in this 2023)
On friday by the launch of the flypast, a F-35(B) started and landed immediately.
Was this the one participating on Saturday and Sunday or an other one?

Sunday a white VH-139 landed just before the flypast bringing the Italian president.
ADSB showed this one as MM81811 (I was outside the base) which means the one in the flypast would be another one.
Can some confirm ADSB is right and what was the one in the flypast?
Also on Sunday evening 2 HH-139 left for Ciampino around 19.00 and returned around 20.00 hours. Anyone for these two?
Air Spares were in the holding South of the base near Pomezia
Thanks!
On Sunday the formation leaders landed some time after the flypast (around 17:15). In addition to T-346 61-07 and F-35 32-06 this flight also included Typhoon MM7310/4-54. Are we sure it wasn’t in the formation?

We were at Grossetto on Sunday and didn't saw it depart from there.

That's good enough for me. Thank you for the confirmation with an excellent shot. It certainly grabbed our attention as we were on the dirt entrance road from the west so no chance of reading.
Can confirm that the all white VH-139 bringing in the Italian President on Sunday was actually MM81807 of 31 Stormo from CIA. Photographed as we were in the car park back of 14 Stormo at the time.
The white one in the flypast was a UH-139 showing a blue triangular top to the fin was MM81811 as reported elsewhere. Believed to be out of CIA also.
No question of either.
