The term in Italy is "pane e coperto". It literally means "table and cover" ("cover" as table setting). So yes, you are being charged a fixed price for the table setting and the "free bread". In HK we the similar "service charge" and it is typically 10%.

In the US, a 10% tip is considered poor and a 20% more or less normal. In Europe 10% is very good. In most of East Asia no tip is normal.

Many operators don't do D checks any more. What would formerly be part of the D checks is divided up and folded into the C checks, so at every C check you do part of what would have been in the D check. That's why the C checks are called C1, C2, C3 or similar.

This is what it looks like from the ground at the Mach Loop in Wales. F-15 passes around 0m45s (3 planes) and 4m00s. And don't miss the VFL Hercules!

Indeed. You have to have two prop governors (at least I can't see how you would set it up with just one), and given the monster size of those props the governors have to be rather beefy. Hence a large spinner in the middle.
Well played. One of my favorite movie lines of all time.
