Ah, didn't know it was at Deci. Thought it happened in UK but with an
Italian exchange student in the front and moaning mini in the back. :-) Did
the GR see the F2 in time or was it a red flare job? Heard the F2 crew had
to scrub due to shock.


IIRC the GR recognized in the last moment that the space on the runway
was already occupied ;-)

It looks ridiculous but sadly things like that happen. Aircrafts in
bright grey like the italian Tornado are very hard to see from above,
and if the tower personel is having a nap then **** like this happens.
If the pilot hadn't seen the F.3 in time then this probably would have
resulted in a crash...
