Forum rules
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.

ITALIAN ARMY Aviation Battalion - Validation

Post by MasterJet »

This week I was lucky to 'embed' with the italian army aviation to follow the validation of the Aviation Battalion that soon will go to Afghanistan.
This exercise was the final phase of a six months training that all the units (ground and air) must do before go to the hot zone.
Every mission is made as if they are for real in AFG...the aim of the exercise is to increase the cooperation between all the units that soon will work side by side in a hostile environment.

Hope you like
