F-104 Starfighter, FIAT G.91 & F-86 Sabre - Italian Air Force 100th Anniversary Airshow
Рет қаралды 107,069
The stars of the show at Pratica di Mare this weekend were a TF-104G Starfighter from the USA, a newly-restored G.91R and Europe's only airworthy Sabre - a CL-13B Mk.6 from France.
The classic jets flew with their modern counterparts: a bomber formation comprising the AMX A-11B Ghibli, A-200 Tornado and G.91, and a fighter formation comprising the Sabre, F-104, F-2000A Typhoon and F-35A Lightning.
Held at Pratica di Mare just outside Rome, the Manifestazione Aerea del Centenario dell'Aeronautica Militare celebrated 100 years of the Italian Air Force, featuring a wide range of current and former Italian Air Force types.

Nascendo in maremma sono cresciuto con gli f-104 che mi svolazzavano sopra la testa, rivederlo volare e sentire il suo fischio e' emozionante.

Il fischio e la scia nera dello spillone sona una delle cose più romantiche che mi sia capitato di vedere su YT di recente! Anche il G91 in blu, eh, tanta roba!

Bellissimo . Ci avete fatto sentire la bellissima voce dei motori che chi trasmetteva in diretta ci ha negato. Grazie!!! Con i ciarlatani abbiamo sentito quello che partirà, quello che vincerà e tante chiacchere che avrebbero potuto fare dopo l' esibizione di queste bellissimi aerei , che è quello che chi non ha potuto essere presente si aspettava di vedere e sentire. Ancora grazie!!!!

So much love for the old Starfighter, called "lo spillone" or "the big nail". Basically a wingless rocket impossible to control, and an icon of the old age interceptors, all about speed. The Aeronautica Militare was still keeping them in regular service until the early 90ties. It lands at 400 kmh to prevent stalling, impossible to land anywhere without para-braking. It's like a 1950 formula one car only a spectacular pilot can really control. Former F104 pilots all say "there is nothing, nothing quite like it".

They kept them even later than that! The Starfighter's farewell airshow was held here at Pratica di Mare in May 2004. They continued to serve on QRA duties until October of that year and flew with 311 Gruppo/Reparto Sperimentale Volo on flight test missions into 2005.

@@ThisisFlight what I meant was " as interceptors ", the natural role of the Starfighter. I worked in Sigonella Nato airbase in 1984, and there was a squadron of 6 104s permanently ready, tanked and loaded with air to air missiles, often in the middle of the night the alarm sounded for the emergency drill, and the planes were supposed to be at 20.000 feet, flat out, in just 10 minutes. Pilots were spending the night in a cabin near the aircraft, all suited up. Americans were flying the F14s at the time, but there was very much respect, especially when the italian pilots were doing evolutions such as vertical ascending or loops, which the 104 is really not designed for. "You people are really insane" they used to say. Later, the 104 was still used as a reconnaissance aircraft, but no longer as a fighter. The Tornado era was beginning (by the way, we still fly over 70 Tornadoes, together with the Eurofighter Typhoons... I suppose we like too much old things here).

The 104 picked up a bird strike. Second video I've seen of this today. Hit in the left fuselage just aft of the intake. A glancing blow. You can see it falling away at 4:23. The other video has a slightly different angle and you can see it bouncing off. A near miss for that intake and I don't believe the pilot took notice. We had a terrible problem with starlings and red wing blackbirds at Barksdale AFB when I was serving. Also saw a Blue Angel loose an engine in Houston in the 90s. I don't think anyone in the crowd around me noticed but me. I had just seen so many of them before. The Angels immediately went into a dynamic distraction mode while the crippled bird sneaked around behind and landed short if the show line. I was watching him and a guy standing near me said, "Hey you're missing the show." I said, "Oh no I'm not."

È stato un sogno rivedere il 104 in volo, un'emozione incredibile, almeno per me. Pare abbia effettuato il passaggio a mach 0.92, quindi circa 610 nodi e 1100 km/h

Sinceramente ritengo un idiozia non mantenere in condizioni di volo alcuni f104 italiani, per questa esibizione hanno dovuto chiedere agli americani un loro f104 che poi era un ex f104 italiano! Che tristezza!
