Mediterranean Steady Wall Art

Mediterranean Steady — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. Italy designates the Typhoon as F-2000A within its Mission Design Series; the 4° Stormo at Grosseto accepted the nation's first operational Eurofighters in March 2004 and flew Italy's first Typhoon QRA sortie in December 2005 — ahead of partner nations in standing alert on the type. The wing's prancing horse and lightning bolt insignia ties Quarto Stormo to a long fighter lineage at Grosseto, from F-104 Starfighter days through the Typhoon era that now anchors Mediterranean air policing and NATO quick-reaction tasking. Dassault designed the Rafale as a true omnirole platform — air superiority, deep strike, reconnaissance, and nuclear-deterrence escort from a single airframe family sharing the delta-canard layout and SNECMA M88 twin-engine package. On 27 June 2006, EC 1/7 Provence at Saint-Dizier became the first Armée de l'Air squadron to fly the Rafale operationally, fielding both Rafale B and C variants as Jaguar units stood down.
