The FlyParty is the yearly meeting of Historical Aircraft Group, the Italian association of historical aircraft owners and pilots, founded exactly 20 years ago. The 15th edition of the FlyParty was held in Dominio di Bagnoli airfield, near Padua, Italy, on 22nd and 23rd June.
Unfortunately, technical problems prevented the participations of the "headliners", some of the DC-3/C-47s of the D-Day Squadron which is touring Europe for the Normandy Landings 80th Anniversary. Moreover, bad weather prevented other participants from getting to the airfield, and forced others to leave on Saturday.
All photos were taken on Saturday 22nd, as weather forecasts were quite bad for Sunday 23rd.
The show was opened by the replica of the World War 1 bomber Caproni Ca.3, built by Fondazione Jonathan Collection (those of you who attended the Italian Air Force 100th Anniversary Airshow last year already saw it flying in Pratica di Mare). It arrived escorted by the foundation's Tiger Moth.

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. |
