This is the first G222 in the pre-series, it was rolled out at Torino-Caselle on 21 Nov'75. It made its first flight on 23 Dec'75. The aircraft was used for all kinds of trails, included as G222-SAMA (waterbomber) and ATR42 icing tests, but also as a sales demonstration aircraft. After delivery to the Aeronautica Militare it was assigned to the Experimental Flight Regiment (Reparto Sperimentale di Volo) from 1988 onwards.
