Can anyone enlighten me as to:
1. What type(s) of aircraft are based at Istrana?
2. Are there any restrictions on taking photos along the perimeter fence, i.e. am I likely to be arrested?!
3. Assuming that the answer to 2 above is 'no', are there any good locations (e.g. mounds, etc.) for taking photos (as opposed to spotting)?
4. Is there any flying at the weekend?
Thanks in anticipation.
Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

Thanks, Chris, you're a star! My step-daughter lives not far from Treviso, so I thought I'd pay a visit to Istrana next time I go to see her.

No worries! If you're in the area, it's certainly got to be worth a look!

I was there in 95 and the police were a bit touchy then, even at the airports. I would still err on the side of caution, be discreet.

Thanks, roughcutter, I'll bear that in mind.
