Author: Daniele Mattiuzzo of VMAS (Veneto Military Aviation Society). The real 53-6634 crashed on 16th July 1956 with pilot safely ejected. This airframe was built up by the front fuselage from 53-6646 50-30 (wfu 8th July 1970) and possibly tail from 53-6637 50-10 (wfu 10th August 1970). It was displayed in Vedelago initially as 51-30 and later as 51-37. It was transferred to the Museum of Cerasolo, close to Rimini, where it was restored and spotted in 1994 painted as fake 5-36591 with "Getti Tonanti" livery. Same fake serial and livery is on the F-84F 53-6988 preserved in Rivolto This photo was added on 31 January 2024, and has since been viewed 154 times. |
