Photo Comment

The small "wolf head", close to the 03 on the nose, is the badge of GRUPAER (Gruppo Aerei Imbarcati) of the Italian Navy. Because of the small number of fixed-wing aircraft this unit has no id. number, differing from the other units that are equipped with helicopters. This unit started gradually replacing this memorable aircraft with the F-35B in 2018, with the first delivery from the Italian FACO in Cameri AB.
