Ferrari of the Skies.... by ShindenWolf

Ferrari of the Skies....

ShindenWolf

Finally got another airplane picture done woo, this ones been hiding in my to do folder for some time now.

The SIAI Marchetti SF-260 is a trainer/light attack aircraft designed and built in Italy. Its sleek lines, excellent flying characteristics, and high performance for an aircraft of its class have earned it the name "Ferrari of the skies" by many. Widely exported, it has seen much service in both military and civilian hands.

I hold this aircraft dear to my heart, as I've actually had the opportunity to fly one in real life. Back in 09, down in California, I got to fly two missions with Air Combat USA, a civilian dogfighting school. We did a total of 11 dogfights, of which I won 10 against another instructor (I had an instructor flying in the airplane with me heh).

A gentle evening flight...Shin brings his bird in for a soft landing...another currency mission complete
