Whilst we were sitting at our (rented) chalet we were eyewitnessing aerobatical PC-7 flights above the Alps. We found out that after each flight the planes decended into an airfield. Searching for the frequency we found out that they decended into Lodrino for touch & goes and low approaches.
So we decided to pay Lodrino a small visit in the morning. When we arrived at Lodrino there were 3 PC-7's doing circuits. Once we got to our photo spot only 1 was left for 1 low approach.
Later we found out that they were performing their last exam before they got the letter whether they would go to the next level (PC-9?) or that they would have to leave the academy.
Here are the shots taken at Lodrino.

Forum rules
This 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. |
