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.

Nice pics

What is the exect type of the first and last pic?
It's not a seaking, because the seaking has a tail-dragger link gear configuration, but the haul looks very similar.

Very nice shots Giovanni!!!!
My favourite is the second one (Carabinieri AB-412).

Is this Adla Fennec (WB) the only one to participate to Squalo 08?

Hi Spacedust,

I took my photo at Asiago in the north Italy, about 80km above Vicenza!

This SAR Exercise took place in three different place: Asiago for the SATER part (ground part) and Venezia for the SAMAR part(Adriatic sea for the sea part)...and Istrana Air Base was used for the detachment of all Aircrafts and helos involved in the exercise.

Every year the place of the exercise can change, for example the 2007 edition took place in Amendola Air Base in the south Italy.

If you need other information please let me know, however a complete report(sorry! in italian language only) will be on line soon on http://www.spottermagazine.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Kind Regards
