Built by McDonnell Douglas as a Block 17 dual seater with FMS BuNo 164136. The was delivered 7 Jun'91. The official delivery ceremony was held on 23 Aug'91, when the MM55032 (and MM55033) landed on the flightdeck of the carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi, anchored off Norfolk (VA). Flow by 1°Gruppo Aerei Imbarcati (created in Feb'91 at MCAS Cherry Point (NC), where the first pilots and technicans of the Italian Marina completed their training prior the delivery of theirs first Harriers. Great to see the family model in the evening of its service life during a visit to the TLP.
