Our Coast Guard sometimes helps lazy photographers looking for a picture to post, flying small planes just over their terraces. This is a great service and I quickly took advantage of it.
The plane is a Piaggio P166, with its typical rear-facing propellers.See also: CP 867 - Calm Waters - CP 867 & Nataly - Coast Guard

I think you should send the Coast Guard the photos along with a small check to reimburse the pilots for their trouble.
I mean, really! To provide you with an opportunity to take such beautiful photos deserves some recompense!
Lucky you, having such visitors overhead!! And together with birds!
What a strange plane. It seems like they put the engines on backwards. :)
How lucky you are to have your own plane and pilot---just so you can take pictures. Does the Coast Guard know this?
I like the rear-facing propellers. MB
BTW: Niblet loved the blackbird.
Wow, what a capture! So nice!
God bless you!

It's good to have such a nice service:)
Happy Sunday to you!
It is cute.
Greetings from a" co-pilot" on a small Piper Cherokee.
Was it noisy, flying so close?

ciao
Sarc.
We have these planes flying by our deck in Michigan all summer long. They are fantastic machines. I will probably have a shot or two of them this summer.
VP are these made by the same company that makes Vespa. Piaggio I mean.
What a fabulous view of Livorno that pilot must have! And I like the blackbird.
Excellent captures, VP!
That was nice of them! They recognized a good opportunity for PR.
Always nice when you don't have to leave home to get a few cool shots.
Didn't even notice the propellers until you pointed them out. Yes, very convenient.
