Picture of the Day: Flashy SF260
Guido Bouckaert submitted this photo and note: “N330DG, a SIAI-Marchetti SF.260, was owned by Debby Gary and from 2002 to 2008 flown in air shows. Sold in 2009 to an Englishman, in November 2022 it was sold to a new owner in Belgium where this photo was taken over the North Sea between France and the UK. What a beauty it is. Photo by Jan Vanhulle (photographer), Hugo Verledens (pilot photo ship) and Guido Bouckaert (organizing the flight).”
