Dysko Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 The first post-pandemic edition of the Italian Historical Aircraft Group (HAG) yearly fly-in, held in 25th and 26th June in Bagnoli di Sopra airfield near Padua, home of HAG itself. The show was opened with a Viet Nam War memorial by Bird Dog "Mekong Mauler". Probably the most unusual visitor was a new entry in the HAG fleet, a Soko G-2A Galeb jet trainer. This is the first jet to ever land in this grass airfield! Front cockpit Two historical visitors from Aero Club Milano. Piper J-3 Cub Stampe SV-4 The first of the 2 Pitts Special which flew during the day. Formation with a Piaggio P-149... ...and 2 F.8 Falco Yak-52 take-off and low pass: Fiat G.46, post-WW2 trainer and one of the first planes built in Italy after WW2: Another Yak-52: CAP 10: Another Pitts: Corby Starlet: New entry in the HAG fleet: 1942-built Waco UPF-7 Finally I managed to take a photo of an F14! Ok, it is not the naval fighter made famous by an '80s blockbuster, but a rare Aviamilano F14 Nibbio, designed by Stelio Frati . Only 10 were built, and only 2 (including this one) are still airworthy. The Mekong Mauler takes off in formation with the Boredom Fighters Team for a closing salute 3 My aircraft spotting website: GolfVictorSpotting.it
