From 13th to 17th June San Damiano airport, a former Tornado base near Piacenza, Italy, hosted SAR exercise Grifone 2022.
The Italian Air Force used a HH-139...
...and 2 TH-500. A SIAI U-208 liaison plane flew from Milan Linate.
The Italian Army Aviation flew with a venerable UH-205:
The Vigili del Fuoco, the national firefighting and rescue service, flew with a AW139:
The Italian Navy with a EH-101:
The State Police with a AB-212:
The Carabinieri, the national gendarmerie corps, flew with a AW139:
The Guardia di Finanza, the national custom service, flew with a PH-139...
...and a UH-169:
The only foreign participant was the Spanish Air Force, with a NH-90 and a CASA CN235 (too distant for photos):
The local gate guardian, an F-104 Starfighter:
