Photo Comment

This is one of possibly two airframes converted to the ECM duty. Operated by 14 Stormo 71 Gruppo it didn't wear any unit or identity codes. Delivered between 1981 and 1983 it was equipped with the rotating antenna on top of the fin and a turret antenna immediately before the nose landing gear. Other blade antennas were added during its operational life. It was often used on the Adriatic Sea during the Balkans' war and ceased operations in 2009. The supposed second airframe could have been MM62138 (c/n 4051), as can be found in some databases, but no certain information is available on it.
