Photo Comment

The special markings were applied for celebrating the 70th anniversary of 50°Stormo and the 65th anniversary of 155°Gruppo at Piacenza-San Damiano. The fuselage sides carry a large panther paw print, and the top of the fuselage shows a panther's head (from the badge of 155°Gruppo, the 'Black Panthers'). The fin carries the sword and arrow design from the 50°Stormo badge. MM7027 was withdrawn from use on 1 April 2011 and was stored at Piacenza.
