Despite 'operational Beetle', Ristoaereo was out of business by springtime 2019. No more dining while admiring the rest of the sole surviving AMI CV-440. She left the factory in 1957 as N8464H, was transferred to the Italian air force as I-MIDA and taken on strength as MM61833. Was a VIP and presidential aircraft, served the military until 1978 and after storage was preserved in excellent condition at the current location around 1990. The restaurant was built later. In complete livery, markings and code but condition slowly deteriorates. Find her in Isola Sacra at Via Trincea delle Frasche 90.
