Italian Air Force HH-139A

Yesterday, 11th October 2018, I had the pleasure to visit the Armed Forces of Malta’s Air Wing for the second time this year. This time however, it was not to visit the AFM air wing, but to take pictures of an Italian Air Force HH-139A that is currently present in Malta to train Maltese crew on the integration of night vision goggles to conduct more effective search and rescue missions within Maltese territorial waters during nighttime. The visit was organised by the Malta Aviation Society

Bronco for Touch and Go’s!

 

On the 25th of August 2018, Maltese spotters were treated to 2 touch and go’s by a US Marine Corps KC-130J Hercules, on its way from Tunisia to Sigonella in Sicily. This particular aircraft belongs to VMGR-252, based in MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina. This was a very welcome sight after long quiet periods of no military movements at Malta International Airport.

On Friday 24th, I also photographed a French Air Force C-160 Transall resting on apron 4 in some glorious evening light, as the sun was setting.
