Photo Comment

This was the second Italian prototype (or 9th pre-series airframe) and the painting below the cockpit traces the hundreds flights, and its last flight on April, 17th 1986. The aircraft was preserved for years in Cameri in its original livery, then used for static display also at fairs in different fake grey liveries and also fake serial numbers! The following stickers can be recognized on the fuselage: MFG2, 311 Gruppo of RSV, Black Panthers of 155 Gruppo, Red Flash of 101 Gruppo and White Horse of 4 Stormo. Of these, only MFG2, RSV and 155 Gruppo really flew a Tornado
