Besides a large number of standard T-33 trainers used by the AMI, the RT-33As served most of the Squadriglia Collegamenti as well as some specialised units. Originally in silver colours, they were repainted in this high visibility scheme with yellow and black stripes underneath for target interception training and target tug operations. This example was obtained from Turkey in 1957. This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
