Countach owners "must have" pictures

Thank you Mick, i did not know: i'm sorry for the error, i'm not an airplane expert, i just know a bit about the Ustica story.

What is your opinion about that Ustica tragedy? Do you believe there was an air battle between French Mirages, Libyan Mig 23, USA A7 Corsair and F4 Phantom, Italian F104S Starfighters to kill/save Libyan dictator Geddafi? The strange thing is that (maybe) the Mirages and the F104s tried to save Geddafi, while the Migs and the USA plane tried to kill him. The Mirages (maybe) won the battle but shot down the DC9 while attacking a Mig23. Of course we Italian helped Geddafi telling him everything in advance so his plane changed course before reaching Ustica and French sent a whole fighter squadron from Solenzara airbase to shot down any fighter jet that could chase Geddafi plane. In every war we italians alway have been traitors...

this pictures across the open doors are fantastic

Thank for your picture Joe, and, above all, thank you for your words too. Yes, you are right, we are peace loving people, but with ****ty and corrupted leaders. But history tells we always switch alliance during every war, and this is a shame. There is a famous German general who said " i do not know who will win the 3rd world war, but i know who will loose it: the ones that will be allied with Italians!". I think he was right...

May be not everyone know, but Ustica disaster did more casualties after the disaster itself: Bologna railway bomb, Ramstein airshow, a lot of very strange suicides, car accidents, heart attacks to sound people and so on.

A radar operator (then "suicided") said "that evening we were very close to the 3rd world war".

But let's stop with this off topic: coming back to the Countach picture at Bologna Airport, i saw it many times and just some days ago i realized it could be Ustica DC9. Then Dgay, thatlòooks to be an Airplane expert, noticed that it was not but it could be the other shown in your picture.

Were you too at Bologna airfield that picture day, Joe?

I visited for the first Lamborghini factory in 1971, when i was 9 years old: if you were fourteen you could already be a photographer!

ciao

yes, i think that too... and 500 other people attending the event, died or wounded...

A friend of mine was there at Ramstein German Airbase to attend the airshow: fortunately he was at the opposite side of the crowded small hill where one of the three MB339 crashed. He told me he saw so many badly burned people that immediately escaped from there and went directly at home in Italy without even take the luggage at the hotel...

I think Valentino does not own any Lambo: that white 5000S is owned by the president of LCI.

I saw mr. Balboni at several Lamborghini Club Italia meeting but each time he drove or a LCI member car or a Lamborghini Factory demo/museum car.

Post some! i think page 6 and 7 Italian Gathering 2010 are fantastic and "must have". Quattroruore pictures, as i'm Italian, are all "must have" as i dreamed a lot at the time when reading those test pages.

Must have pictures are very rare: what's the n.1 Countach "must have" picture, in your opinion? for me it still is the black double winged Cannonball Countach aside the speed limit sign.
