From my internship in Valbrembo

Some photos from my 5-months internship in the Helispin helicopter flying school, based in Valbrembo airport close to Bergamo.

The school uses the ubiquitous Robinson R22:

On which I flew a couple of times 😀

It was used also for events such as “Santa in helicopter”.

Some local traffic.

Probably the biggest plane which can operate here.

A Grunau Baby vintage glider hung above the chopper.

Sometimes Italian Army helicopters performed post-maintenance flights.
Ogni tanto passava qualche elicottero dell’Esercito per un volo prova dopo essere uscito dalla manutenzione a Orio.

Some “special colors”.
The A-Team’s ultralight?

Some off-topic wingviews, taken during a trip to Malta.
Outbound flight with Ryanair, flying above the Argentario.

Return flight with Air Malta, takeoff above Valletta and Grand Harbour (unfortunately, the window was very dirty).
