Photo Comment

Preserved in the colours of the Getti Tonani display team. Not to be mixed up with the F-84 at Rivolto, that is painted in exactly the same colours. The possible reason of two preserved aircraft with same livery and serial is that the orange livery was the one of Commander Gregorio Baschirotto, who was still alive in the last years and participated in several aeronautical meetings. Mentioned photo years are a rough estimate.
