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

Correct, I noted it on the flightline.

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!

Hi

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?

[GIPS]

This one broke down and departed on Saturday morning(32-18). After the formation the new F-35B landed (32-14)

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?

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?

[Ken Cloke]

This one broke down and departed on Saturday morning(32-18). After the formation the new F-35B landed (32-14)

Please confirm that F-35B 32-18 departed around 9am Saturday as I have seen a report saying it was 32-08.

Many thanks

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.

Morning all,

Some great information out there so thanks to all. The 346 MM55215 was parked for a while near the Red Bulls DC-6 and Eurofighter 4-43.

Did it fly at all on Saturday or Sunday?

Many thanks and compliments to the AMI for one of the more memorable and challenging shows.
Regards
Rick

Hi,

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.

Regards
