Two Breda Nardi NH-500 helicopters of the Italian Air Force 72nd Wing fly over Frosinone, Italy. The main component of the 72nd Stormo is the 208th Gruppo (Squadron), a flight unit whose courses were attended by more than 4,000 pilots in 40 years, proof that almost every Italian military pilot flying with the choppers earned their wings at Frosinone. However, even if the training role continues to be the main role of the 208th Gruppo, its crews are often involved in real operations abroad.
