Looking immaculate and clearly well looked after here at Pratica where it is preserved. No stranger to British enthusiasts, having been the star of the 1985 Fairford IAT when operational with 14º Stormo as an electronics calibration aircraft.

Although some 754 G.91s were built, none remained airworthy after the type's retirement in 1992. MM6305 began a programme of restoration by Renzo Catellani's Volafenice team and the Italian Air Force at Piacenza in 2021 and was flown again under registration I-AMIC for the first time just two days before this appearance at the Italian Air Force 100th anniversary celebrations. Although painted as a G.91PAN of the Frecce Tricolori, its service life had been with 2º Stormo in the regular NATO camouflage. Undoubtedly one of the stars of the show along with the F-104.

Smartly attired in Italian AF livery in the historic park at Pratica, this P.166 is familiar from its appearances in a civilian livery using Italian flag colours at UK airshows. It was built in 1962 as the prototype P.166B Portofino registered I-PIAS, then converted by Piaggio as a P.166C feederliner demonstrator. Sold to Transavio for services Milan-Linate and Pisa to Elba, last flown in 1985 and stored at Milan-Bresso for 18 years. By 2002 it was in very poor condition and was bought for €50 for restoration, carried out at Rome's Guidonia AB over 17,500 hours, flying again in November 2011.

This single-seat attack MB.326 was intended for Zaire in the mid-1970s but not completed due to financial difficulty and order cancellation. Instead it remained in long-term covered storage until acquired by Volafenice at Reggio Emilia for finishing and preparation for flight, which occurred for the first time in 2019. It is painted to represent MM54391, an MB.326 of the RSV well-known as a demonstrator aircraft at airshows in the 1970s registered I-KMAK. That aircraft was eventually placed on external display at its Pratica di Mare base and contributed a number of parts to I-MBCK

Seen here looking magnificent in period 51° Stormo colours, this F-104 had just been reassembled for static show when this photo was taken.For some reason marked as MM6804, but it is really MM6750, although the nose is from a different Starfighter. Normally housed at Istrana AB.
