OK chaps! Scramble! Scramble!
This is one for you all to get your thinking caps on - (especially MonsTTer and 51!)
Italian aero manufacturer Aermacchi are looking for a name for their new jet advanced trainer - the M346…
(look at that beauty!)
And the winner will get to go to their factory on a VIP tour and get a ride in it!!!:w00t:
The prizes shall consist in:
–1st Prize
A flight in the M-346, a visit to the Alenia Aermacchi factory in Venegono Superiore plus a visit the Italian Air Force Museum at Vigna di Valle - Bracciano (Rome);– 2nd Prize
Visit to the Alenia Aermacchi factory in Venegono Superiore plus a visit the Italian Air Force Museum at Vigna di Valle – Bracciano (Rome);–3rd Prize

Entry is as far as I can tell, open to anyone, so get thinking!
Here’s what they are looking for…
All entries for the M-346 competition must meet the following criteria:
the proposed name must be coherent with the characteristics of the aircraft, whether in terms of shape, technical features, use etc.
the proposed name must be internationally recognisable, of high impact and easily memorised;
the proposed name must not replicate or recall other names already in use on other aircraft.
I’ve already entered but in case I’m not lucky;) lets get someone else from the EAF in the back seat to get a flight of a lifetime and tell us how it went!:w00t:
(of course if you just like piston warbirds - I’ll be happy to take your place for a 9G aerobatic flight over the Italian alps…:))
