Photo Comment

When this picture was taken, this was the only active TAV-8B in Italian service (the other one was wfu in 2015). It is seen here approaching Albacete during TLP 25/3. It was sent to the TLP as a spare aircraft, but did a local flight much to the delight of the dozens of spotters who had travelled here to see this beautiful aircraft. It has been active since 1991 and was assigned BuNo. 164136.
