Anyone remember the site for the airport cam near Lausanne, where the Mi26 is waiting?

Thanks. There's a huge gathering of people around, it must be imminent.

Looking at the map, I just realized that there is a small lake some 4 miles south of the Biella airport, I wonder if they would prefer to drop A5 on the water and then go refueling? The lake is called Lago di Viverone.

I hope the lake is around 1.025 or it may not measure ???? :lol: :lol:

it is possible to achieve it, but they'll have to drop some salt on the lake :P

Here below a link to Viverone lake webcam.
