Avient in Verona?

Spotted one of Avients DC10's in Verona today, away from the rest of the aircraft. Has it been parked there on a semi permanent basis? Just asking out of curiosity, was wondering how many they still had flying.

I wonder is there any connection with news last week from Farnborugh of an order placed by new all cargo italian airline. Reports state that order placed for five A300 Freighters. Person behind this new venture is supposed to be chairman of Air Dolomiti who are based at-you guessed it- Verona !!!!

A lot of people have been in Tiblisi this week - including some aircraft with more "interesting" characters behind the airlines.

A good chance to make some extra cash flying food and aid for the NGOs when things might otherwise be a little quiet.
