Spotting at Ghedi Air Base Italy for Tornadoes

[tbower40]

To all,

I'm trying to find some information on any current spotting areas around Ghedi Air Base for departing and arriving aircraft. I'm really looking for and hoping to get some Tornadoes before they are all retired.

Can anyone help out if they have any maps or information?

Thank you,

Trevor

I think you will get plenty of information until this happens. 5 years should be enough

For some reason I thought they were being retired earlier than that. Thanks for the heads up

The Tornados normally depart due east and also return from that side. So position yourself east of the base, in this field: 45.417679,10.285580
Park your car on the gravel road here
45.417749,10.281085

The parking spot is accesible via the south, a road named Cascina Fieniletto in Ghedi.

Good luck!

2027 is the official OSD (Out of Service Date). But maybe even longer
