The Commander of the A.M. Schools, welcomed by Colonel Colonna, visited the Flight School in Lecce. Colonel Maurizio Colonna, Commander of the 61st Wing, presented to General Cormio the activities of the Salento Flight School, which has been a fundamental stop in the professional training of military pilots for over 60 years and is currently engaged in a complex program of infrastructure adaptation for flight training and training, which has confirmed it as a point of reference for advanced flight education, especially in an international context.
Immediately after the briefing, General Cormio wanted to meet the instructors and the student pilots inside the main auditorium.
Subsequently, a visit to the Base was carried out, during which the Commander of the Schools observed the progress of the works on the infrastructure that will house the aircraft “T346” (hangars and training system), the redevelopment of the scrap storage area and the fuel storage area, as well as the start of construction work on the new “GCA” radar.
At the end of the visit, General Cormio expressed words of appreciation for the work carried out so far and the results achieved, also providing guidance and directions for the projects that still need to be completed.
The day concluded with the delivery of the Departmental Staff Command crest to the School Commander and the signing of the Honor Roll.
