Istrana [LIPS] 30th Anniversary of AMX
Istrana [LIPS] 30th Anniversary of AMX
Hi guys,
last september Aeronautica Militare celebrated 30 years of service of AMX. Currently Istrana is the last base hosting this type and flying activity is quite low unfortunately, so when I saw a formation of 7 aircrafts flying together was a really nice view.
During the event was unveiled four new special colors, one totally black and the other three with a different tail design on each side, here some pictures:

Cracking set, canny lad!
Love Shot 4.
Has it really been 30 years? Seems like yesterday they were making their first appearances at TTTE Cottesmore during my first tour 85-88.

top set, well done.
Re: Istrana [LIPS] 30th Anniversary of AMX
Always liked seeing the AMX, a nice looking plane. I used to see them a few times a year when they came over to Spade.

Re: Istrana [LIPS] 30th Anniversary of AMX
The AMX is a cracking little jet. Always looks like a single engined, single seat, fixed wing Tornado to me.. probably due to the lines and similar tail.
Liked its display at RIAT a couple ish years ago. Proper pocket rocket.

Excellent formation pics, and the jet looks well in that black Ann. scheme.
Re: Istrana [LIPS] 30th Anniversary of AMX
Great markings and great images, really enjoyed looking through them.
All the best
