Two 5 Stormo Starfighters left Volkel this day. They were here for a pre-exchange. This MM6815 was built by Fiat Aviazione/Aeritalia as F-104S (S=Sparrow) and delivered to the Aeronautica Italiana in early 1973. Unfortunately, the Sparrow crashed at the approach of Trapani-Birgi after it went out of control at low level and dove into the water, killing its Tenente pilota Michelangelo Trimarchi on 12 November 1996.
