Seen here looking magnificent in period 51° Stormo colours, this F-104 had just been reassembled for static show when this photo was taken.For some reason marked as MM6804, but it is really MM6750, although the nose is from a different Starfighter. Normally housed at Istrana AB.

Most of the AMI's SF.260s served the Scuola Volo Basico Avanzato Elica (SVBAE), but this one carries the codes of 70°Stormo and commemorative marks showing the years of service till 2009. The other side of the tail is marked "ore di volo 235.000" representing the number of hours flown by the fleet.

Based on the wartime G.55 fighter, the G.59 used the Merlin engine. Produced in A (single-seat) and B (two-seat advanced trainer) versions, the type entered service in 1950. The later -4 versions featured a cut-down rear fuselage and bubble canopy. Exports to Argentina and Syria were achieved. This survivor was first exhibited in Turin before moving to the Italian AF Museum and had been modified in service from -2B to -4B standard.

Previously displayed nearby on the other side of this hardstanding, under the seaplane crane on the shore of Lake Bracciano. The AMI received a dozen HU-16s to fulfil its SAR obligations under ICAO from the late 1950s, replacing the indigenous Cant Z.506 seaplanes and serving in ever reducing numbers until 1978 when replaced by HH-3F helicopters. The HU-16 latterly became quite problematic and spent extended periods under overhaul, while some were restricted to calm water or land-only operations.

The first Atlantic for Italy was handed over in 1972, the new type allowing the withdrawal of their S-2 Trackers and bringing the advantage of a 20-hour endurance. This example had been active until its retirement last November with 41º Stormo Antisom (41st Antisubmarine Warfare Wing) at Sigonella, Sicily. Earmarked for preservation, in October 2018 it was airlifted from Pratica di Mare to its current position by an Erickson S.64 Skycrane helicopter of the Vigili del Fuoco (fire service), as there is no runway at Vigna di Valle.
