Unfortunately our meeting started under heavy rain, but the rain did not stop 100 fans waiting to visit the faboluos ALITALIA MD-11. We reached the plane by a SEA bus. I-DUPU, an MD-11 inCombi version was just landed after the flight AZ 841 from Johannesburg.

Once on Board, we visited the whole airplane with the opportunity to seat on captain's and first officer's seats.
The second part of the morning was spended travelling around ramps and perimetral road by our SEA bus.

After lunch, we visited the main hangar of 2° Reparto Volo della Polizia di Stato, with all the helicopters and P.68B Observer light aircraft that the Police use.

At the end of the day we visited the Control tower, where we climb up to the top, in group of 20 people per times, to see actions from 75 meters high and watch the ATC controllers doing their job.
