Typhoon twin sticks in the Italian AF?

Savage · Post by **Savage** » 27 Sep 2007, 11:49

Just wondering if you chaps could help me with something. I've been trying me hand at doing repaints and flightplans for the Italian Typhoons at Grosetto AB. I found plenty of registrations for the single seaters, but I've only managed to find one for their twin seaters. Can anyone help me out with any more (assuming they have them)?

Not much info out there - all I can find is:
c/n IT002 MM55093 4-1
c/n IT003 MM55094 4-3
c/n IT005 MM55096 4-4
c/n IT007 MM55128 4-26
c/n IT008 MM55129 4-32

Not sure whether they change marking numbers but I also found IT003 as 4-23 ??

Hi,

I don't know much about Italian AF serials but it looks like there's been some other code changes as 4-1 came into Coningsby - along with 4-2 - at the end of July and they were both single sticks. Don't know if it's any help but thought you ought to know.

Notizia da un blog... cerca su google con "eurofighter" e "gioia del colle"

Dal 1° ottobre a Gioa del Colle, sede del 36° Stormo, sono basati 4 Typhoon provenienti dal 4° Stormo di Grosseto.

5 piloti sono già disponibili e altri 3 arriveranno entro la fine del 2007.

I programmi prevedono che entro la fine del 2008 la base avrà completato il processo di radiazione dei Tornado IDS e degli MB-339CD e sarà equipaggiata con una decina di Typhoon con i quali raggiungerà la capacità operativa piena in missioni di difesa aerea a partire dal gennaio 2009.

Entro la fine dello stesso anno il numero di Typhoon salirà a 15 raggiungendo l’assetto definitivo.

I Tornado IDS saranno trasferiti a Ghedi, che assieme a Piacenza saranno le due uniche basi in cui sarà concentrata la forza Tornado.

I Typhoon in servizio con l’AMI vengono tutti portati al livello Block-5 che comprende FLIR e capacità di utilizzare bombe guidate classe Paveway che però l’AMI al momento non intende utilizzare.

Gli esemplari in arrivo a Gioia del Colle sono ancora del Block-2 e possono utilizzare missili AIM-9L e AIM-120, oltre al cannone Mauser da 27 mm.

Ciao.

Grazie,ma lo sapevo.Era solo per sapere se si conoscevano già anche i "numeri".....

Ciao.

At the moment Barry no-one is using the Typhoon in anger. So the Ones Ive seen online and in the flesh are usually, only ever 2 asraam and centreline tank fit, possibly long range, but they havent been on many long range detachments yet, and maybe the Qfit, but that would depend on that being the same as the RAF Q-fit. For the purposes of the package I dont think you could go wrong with those fits and maybe the LGB fit too. However RAF are going to be the first and only force to actually use this in anger and fly with ordnance in that level. So I'd maybe forget the ASRAAM, brimstone, CAS and CAP fits for now. They can always be updated in the future by the user if they feel the need.

Anybody know the callsigns used by the
German,Italian and Spanish Typhoons?
And manufactures for test flights?

Also anyone know about ETSK where TSLW1 is based, do the typhoon based there actually fly or just used for ground instruction?
If it fly's does anyone have the airports.txt entry for it
