Thanks Sandro,
Is the Typhoon replacing all of the F-16s or are these the last ones to go to storage?
Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

At the moment only these F-16A/B going to storage.
Now the 37° stormo at Trapani AB [Sicily] has 2 gruppi [squadrons] with F-16A/B [10° gruppo and 18° gruppo]
meanwhile Gioia del Colle AB has only the 12° gruppo with Typhoon. This is the situation now in the south of Italy.
In the north CAP duty belong to 4° stormo of Grosseto AB with 9° gruppo and 20° gruppo [OCU squadron] all
together with Typhoon a/c.
Cervia AB [23° gruppo now disbanded] in the next future will become a rotational air base [especially with Typhoon deployments from Grosseto AB]
& will hosts 83° gruppo with HH-3F which move from Rimini Airport.
Come back to south of Italy situation probably in the next two years change , one between the two gruppi of Trapani AB will disbanded
[probably 18° gruppo] and the other move to Gioia del Colle AB leaving the F-16A/B [cause end of the leasing] for Typhoon.
Hoping to be clear with my english
