The Aeronautica Militare Italiana (Italian Air Force) celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding as an independent air arm this past weekend (June 16th/19th, 2023) with three-days of fabulous flying and festivities at Pratica di Mare Air Base, a few mikes southwest of Rome.
On June 8, 2023, eight years after its first and only flight, the magnificent WWI-vintage replica Caproni Ca.3 bomber flew again near Nervesa della Battaglia airfield in northeastern Italy.
