51° Stormo (the real one) is back home

155° Gruppo, 51° Stormo (Wing) planes (the real ones) are back home from Kuwait deploiment:

As there is an agreeement between USAF and ITAF, there is in place a rotating exchange of pilots between Italian AMX squadron an an American A10 Squadron. As you can see from one of the pics shown in the article, one of the AMX pilots is an Air Force airman. You can see the American flag on his left shoulder as well as a folded U.S. flag in the cockpit.
