Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

According this picture, the AMX is really the MM7166.
Even the pilot gives a thumps-up!

As you can see clearly on your picture, the last part is in a different coloursheme. This part might be borrowed from another AMX. So I won't be sure the whole aircraft it is 7166.

This actually might be true. It happened before when the 32nd was still flying the G.91T (as the 60th). During a visit to Foggia in 1994 we saw three G.91T with double numbers:
MM6355 60-55 and 60-78
MM54410 60-98 and 60-110
MM54414 60-94 and 60-114

And with the G.91T, the tail was easily swapped as well, maybe they are doing it again with the AMX?
But doesn't the AMX have the serial on the nose as well? Very small?

Looking at the dirt pattern on the back of this AMX, I wouldn't be surprised. Every number cruncher's nightmare... :@(:
