Our loss is your gain! As Mike said good to see the 56th in their new environment but we do miss them!

Very nice - please keep the reports coming

Excellent series of shots from a different "local airfield", hopefully you'll share more pictures with us in the future.

Lovely set with great background scenery. As Darren said good to see the 56th Rescue Pavehawk's again. The "Buazzards" stickers look in worse condition than when they visited LH a few months ago. :lol:
Look forward to more posts from Aviano with interest.
You are so lucky down there :thumbs:

Thank you Webby74, It's true, the mountain "Pian Cavallo" in the background makes the best photos.

You must be Michele M. Hope you are well !! Great photos, and great to see the LN F-15 and the 56th HH-60's. We do miss them, and hope they stay safe at their new home. Jes.
