Here photographed uncoded and equipped with safeguards on air intakes for engine tests, this aircraft was coded 4-38 and crashed on June 20, 1995 into sea killing the pilot, south of the Montecristo island, in misty weather conditions. Note the flash on the fin coloured with the distinctive blue and yellow colours of the 20 Gruppo's badge.
