On Sept. 6, 2022, 27 aircraft of the 61° Stormo took part in a rather impressive series of “Elephant Walks“, that involved both IPs and student pilots, and saw MB-339A/CD and M-346s taxi along the runway. While 27 trainers might not seem many if compared to the fleets of the U.S. training units, you should not forget that there are not many services around the world that can count, on a similar fleet of jet trainers (including advanced ones for LIFT) available on home soil. ull report at TheAviationist.com (link in bio, direct link to article in IG story) #theaviationist#italianairforce#aeronauticamilitare#61stormo#ifts#leccegalatina#mb339#m346#leonardo
