This airframe was the first Italian Atlantic to receive the ALCO modification, that included a new suite of electronic equipment. It is characterized by the prominent antenna on the upper mid fuselage and by the lower one installed at the rear of the bay doors. Now preserved in Vigna di Valle, it performed the last flight of the Italian Atlantic fleet on 22 November 2017 flying from Sigonella to Pratica di Mare. Then stored and partially disassembled, the complete fuselage "flew" hanged below an Ericksson S-64F helicopter to the Museum of Vigna di Valle in October 2018.

This is the aircraft now preserved in Vigna di Valle that performed the last flight of the Italian fleet. Here in its original initial livery with big unit codes and not yet ALCO modified. The individual code of this aircraft (-03) was among the first ones to break the tradition of using the construction number for individual coding.

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.

This airframe last flew on 22nd November 2017 from Sigonella to Pratica di Mare, were it was disassembled in major items and the transferred to Vigna di Valle's Museum. The fuselage was transferred by an Erickson S-64F operated by Vigili del Fuoco on 18th October 2018. The left side of the fin shows the badges of the two Wings that operated the aircraft (41 and 30 Stormo) and the banner "The Last One" on the MAD probe. The rear fuselage displays the unveiling of the original two paint livery (white and sea blue-grey)
