Cervia, 16-17.04.10 – Con la Diana sul Petto from David Cenciotti's weblog - the most visited Italian Aviation Blog by David Cenciotti | "Con la Diana sul Petto" is the name of the event that the 5° Stormo organised in Cervia airbase to give farewell to the F-16. The locally-based 23° Gruppo is in fact about to release its remaining "Vipers" to the 18° Gruppo based in Trapani, that will be the last Italian squadron to fly with the F-16, while Cervia will probably host the HH-3F of the 15° Stormo. To celebrate the event, a special colour and a special tail were prepared and displayed in a sort of mini-airshow that was scheduled to take place both on April 16 and 17, 2010. On the first day, a training display by the Frecce Tricolori was also scheduled but the 9 MB.339s did not perform their practice display because of the bad weather, while, on Apr. 17, the entire flying activity was cancelled because of the volcanic ash that interested the Northern Italian airspace…

It will be interesting to see if TSC starts to offer a more public stance…

Landing Gear Scare Aboard Vintage Plane - A vintage World War II bomber circled the Hillsboro airport for about 50 minutes Sunday, after an alert about a landing gear problem. Nine people were reportedly aboard the "Liberty Belle" when the alert was first called at about noon Sunday. The crash crew, fire crews and other officers at and around the Hillsboro Airport converged on the scene, clearing a wide swath of runway and other possible obstacles, preparing for a possible emergency landing.
