10 year have passed since the first time I attended the FlyParty (technically 11, but I don’t count the 2012 edition where I stayed for just an hour). Here are my photos from my 7th time at the Historical Aircraft Group yearly fly-in, held on 24th and 25th June in Bagnoli di Sopra airfield near Padua, home of HAG itself.

New participant for this year: Nord 1101 Noralpha. Origins of this plane date back to the German occupation of France in World War 2, when the French company Nord Aviation built a tricycle-gear evolution of the Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun, named Messerschmitt Me 208. Only 2 planes were built.
After the war, Nord restarted production of the plane, reengined with a French engine.

I’ll close this post with a non-historic airplane. I don’t know if the owner of this Coavio DA Evolution will ever read this, but I want to thank you because the shade of the wings of your plane provided a much-needed sun shelter! High wing 1 – 0 low wing!
