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.

Why the arabic text on the Mangusta engine?
I forgot what it literally means, but it's something that all Italian choppers carry that have been in Afghanistan (or was it Iraq?). I had a base visit at Taranto three years ago; there was a hangar with stored Gulf veterans (AB212's and SH-3's) that all carried this text.

Some great shots by the way! Do you have a report of the Bracciano numbers as well?

The titles is nothing less then the Arabic translation for Italy.

Thanks for explaining. I think indeed the HH-3F's in Iraq also had this on its side.
