Just be careful during your flight.....look out.....
Go to 3:30 and enjoy......Ignored
In almost all the countries in the world, eastbound traffic (heading between 360 and 180) are assigned odd flight levels (e.g. 35,000 or 37,000 feet), while westbound traffic (heading between 180 and 360) are assigned even flight levels.
In Italy however, they discriminate between northbound (even levels) and southbound (odd levels) traffic. Initially, the fighter was flying heading 070, so northbound (between heading 270 and 090), and should indeed have been flying at an even flight level, such as 36,000 feet. But after contacting Rome, he turned right to heading 160, which is southbound (or between heading 090 and 270), so he also had to have been given an odd flight level, such as 35,000 or 37,000 feet.
Dumb mistake by ATC.
It's not about how much you make, it's about how much you don't lose.
