During the second week of our holiday we were in Italy.
We visited Istrana on a monday. Not much flying going on there.
Four AMX did take off but never return. One did some approaches.
And one visitor. A S208M.

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. |

I had my doubts if any S208 was still in service, thanks for the photo proof!

Still 20 S-208M are in service with 60 Stormo at Guidonia. One of them is on loan to the Squadriglia Collegamento at Milano-Linate and is regularly exchanged.

That many still! Hope to catch a couple then. Mainly used for glider towing and to keep pilots with a desk job current, I guess?Still 20 S-208M are in service with 60 Stormo at Guidonia.
