On Sunday 25th May, airfield La Zappaglia (in the town of Calvisano, near Brescia, Italy) hosted a small general aviation meeting named AirFest 2025.

I’ll start from the end: as the event drew to an end, 2 Wolf W-11 Boredom Fighter (forming the Boredom Fighter Team) and a Cessna L-19 belonging to Historical Aircraft Group Italy performed the Giacomo Taglietti Memorial, in memoriam of an ultralight aviation pioneer who flew from this airfield (and father of one of the pilots of Boredom Fighter Team).

Now the departures of some of the visitors and of the aircraft on display:
The ubiquitous (in Italy) Tecnam P92

Also the Tecnam P2002 Sierra is in very widespread use in Italy

Another frequently-seen ultralight is the Jihlavan Skyleader/Sova

ICP Savannah

Alpi Aviation Pioneer

Asso V

FlyItalia MD3 Rider

FlySynthesis Storch

Coavio DF2000

Eurofly FB5 StarLight

Eurofly Flash

TL-2000 Sting

BRM Bristell

Lamanna Helicopter Escape ultralight helicopter (…actually I didn’t even know it existed!)

Helisport CH-7 Kompress ultralight helicopter

This Agusta-Bell AB.206 Jet Ranger was the heaviest aircraft on site. As I noticed the pilots performing the pre-flight checks, I asked them the takeoff direction to avoid taking backlit pictures. To allow me to take pictures, they performed a low pass along the runway!

Robinson R22

Ela Eclipse REVO autogyro. Almost all modern autogyros have a rotor pre-rotation system to shorten takeoff distance. This model can also change rotor blades incidence to further shorten the takeoff run, achieving quasi-helicopter performances!

A couple of Magni M22 Voyager autogyros

Finally 3 aircraft which I have been unable to identify. I’d be grateful if any of you could shed any light on them!
