"A SPECIAL DAY"

The story of the children who participated at the 61st Air Wing in the ceremony of the delivery of the Military Pilot’s Certificate: The young students participated with great passion, waving the Tricolour at the most significant moments: the entry and exit of the School Flag on the notes of the Anthem of Mameli, the students receiving the ’Aquila Turrita“, the flight of the aircraft. The students of two elementary classes of the Polo 1 Comprehensive School in Galatina were so enthusiastic that they returned to class and told about the emotions they experienced through a poem titled ”Patriarchs of Heaven”, a small composition titled “A special day”And many, many drawings. During the ceremony, Colonel Sergio Cavuoti, Commander of the air base, after pointing out the similarities between the schools and the Salento flight school, addressed the present students, proposing the possibility that some of them “In the not too distant future, he may find himself right there, in the center of the lineup, with the same pride and the same emotions that these young pilots experience today, whose success we are about to celebrate.”.
