Great log.

Friend of me is there in the neighbourhood and is wondering where you could find the following chinooks:

MM80828 E.I.806 CH-47C (ETM-1) stored Italy AR
MM80830 E.I.808 CH-47C (ETM-1) stored Italy AR
MM80835 E.I.813 CH-47C (ETM-1) stored Italy AR
MM80838 E.I.816 CH-47C (ETM-1) stored Italy AR
MM80843 E.I.821 CH-47C (ETM-1) stored Italy AR
MM81168 E.I.826 CH-47C (ETM-1) stored Italy AR

He tried to find them from the outside bud couldn’t find them
So any help is appreciated.

We should have joined than after all, was there on Monday!

The P.68 Observers are under support with Max Aviation. PS-A96 was not outside on Monday.

I'll add my log later today.

From outside you might be able to see them looking from the Aeroclub behind the large stored line of Chinooks (including EI800/804/823/830/831 and many more) they are behind them as well. just a little more downhill.

ICH-47F was only delivered to Viterbo the day before my visit.
Which one was that? Twelve were already on strength by April 2017.


I know they shuffle with those Chinooks, but seeing so much different serials compared to a visit few months ago looks odd.
Can you give exact locations of those stored Chinooks?

According what was told me, E.I.712 was only on strength with 11Gr since 26 july 2017 (I was invited to come back at it wasn't delivered yet as of 15 july (LOG to follow when pictures are returned)when I also had a visit to 11Gr). You are right it was noted in april already at Frosinone, but AFAIK that time it still had its MT iso MM registration and was not yet delivered to 11 Gr.

The Chinooks are stored more to the north than previously (at least, when I was there a couple of years ago). On google maps only 8 can be seen stored together, now it are far more.
I have to check my notebook and pictures to confirm individual line position (not with me at the moment).

Weird, as I have a shot of MM81789/EI712 taken Apr17 at Viterbo.... :?

Correct, they are sitting in the grass now instead of on the flightline like they always used to be.
There were nine in total in April. Seems like the eleven from Frosinone returned and joined them.
