Seen on a day visit at Taranto on 24/04 was the following:
in the morning 2 NH90s flew and in the evening 3 of them flew, no other based types were active.
2 MB-339CD performed a low approach when I was at a supermarket around 13:00
Harriers:
5 active jets inside the sheds, 2 empty sheds and 1 shed was closed.
the active jets were (read from the tailcodes) :
MM7199 / 1-03
MM7213 / 1-07
MM7224 / 1-19
+2 more unread
stored outside:
MM7215 / 1-09
MM7217 / 1-11
+ 2 more.
With a reasonable amount of harriers present, I was surprised not even 1 would fly. Hope for better luck next time.
NH-90s:
Flying were
SH-90A MM81608 / 3-33
SH-90A MM81612 / 3-37 (aborted twice while taxiing and didn't take off in the end)
SH-90A MM81615 / 3-40
MH-90A MM81632 / 3-60
towed outside the hangars:
MH-90A MM81727 / 3-55
At least 7 Ab212s were stored outside with 5 missing their blades and 2 others being stored in the grass besides an old hangar
7-46 was read for sure, other ones are hard to say
