News from Aviano
Posted: 26 Mar 2009, 18:48
An F-16 from the Aviano AB (Italy) has dropped its tanks in emergency moments after the takeoff. One of the tanks fell on a house and destroyed a car parked in a garage.
Local inhabitants lamented about the behaviour of the pilot.
Other news: it seems that the F-16s from the base might be moved to Poland. A study carried from Col. Christopher Sage, irritated the Russian Government. Russia might react by deploying tactical Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad as a response. "Hostility" in the Italian society for the US bases seem to be the main reason of this decision. Sage declared that moving the F-16s is important for the nation's interest. The text has been published on 'Air and Space Power Journal'.
