On this sunny day I arrived here at the west side, spot 1, at around nine o'clock. There was no need to question any activities this day as the first Falcons landed already. I walked to spot 1 but for the nice shots with the mountaineous background I had to position myself in the open field. A green car stopped very soon, made some turns, stopped again while the driver was frantically calling. Time to move to spot 2 where I met some fellow spotters from Italy. Here you have a good view onto the runway and final while being away from the base and a bit obscured to the public road. The F-16s performed on many missions, each took about an hour, but also many touch and goes and simulated flame-outs were made. A Citation and a Herc were some nice visitors. Special visitor was the Russian Air Force Tu154 which was on a Open Skies Mission and made a fly-over at around 3 km height.
At two oçlock all flying was stopped so time to move on.
Many thanks to Claudio, Maurizio and Paolo for their hospitality.
greetings
