From 9th to 19th October Valbrembo, a small general aviation airport near Bergamo, Italy, hosted an Italian Air Force Aeronautical Culture Class. It is a class dedicated to 185 high school students that, after a theoretical part, have the chance to fly on Italian Air Force SIAI-Marchetti U-208 liaison and glider tow planes.<\/p>\n

On 13th October I had the chance to attend the media day for the aviation news website Md80.it<\/a><\/p>\n

…and one wearing a special livery dedicated to the 100th Anniversary of the Rome-Tokyo raid performed by Arturo Ferrarin in 1920.

Finally it is my turn to perform a short flight with 2 other passengers on board the Ferrarin special livery plane. Until that moment, everybody flew in a 3-ship formation, so I was hoping to take some air-to-air pictures. Unfortunately, we were told that our plane would have flown solo.
\nI have to say I was quite disappointed, as all other photographers I know had the chance to perform formation flights during similar classes organized elsewhere in Italy.<\/p>\n

The pilot performed some wingovers.
