The only Fiat trimotor still in existence has undergone a thorough restoration at the museum. Ground handling used to be a challenge due to the restricted view over the nose but it had a range of 3000km and service ceiling of 7500m (24600ft).

This late-1940s design was used as an airliner for 32 passengers, a freighter and a military navigation trainer. The sole remaining example is of the latter type, dubbed 'Aula Volante' (Flying Classroom), hence the designation. It wears the original codes of the 142a Squadriglia Centro Soccorso (142nd Rescue Center Squadron).

Ugly wide-angle shot but this 'Hangar Troster' is said to be the oldest aeronautical building in Italy. Now housing the most vintage part of the collection, it was one of two built as part of war reparations by Austria, after the First World War.

Very impressive heavy bomber and transport aircraft with a maximum take-off mass of more than 18 tonnes. A slow but capable beast, the Luftwaffe operated hundreds of them and the Italian air force even kept some in operation until the early 1960s. Carries its original serial again since having been restored here.

The tail commemorates no less than 45 years of Atlantic service with the Italian air force: 1972-2017. Main body hoisted here by Forestale S-64 in October 2018 and aircraft rebuilt. Still parked off the museum grounds on the operational part of the base.

Temporarily unavailable for display due to reconstruction works. Its last flight was from Roma-Ciampino to arrive here, on 17 October 2012. This is the 'Trasporto Speciale' (TS) version, hence the VIP colour scheme.

Only the left tiptank's "Ultimo Volo 17.5.03" now mentions the last flight of the type with the Italian Air Force, its only user. This version was an Electronic Warfare platform.

The colours are fading on MM61961. As a 'Guerra Elettronica' (electronic warfare) machine it was initially painted in the dark green and grey scheme. Route navigation charts have been applied as sunscreens for the cockpit. Still, a handsome bizjet designed by the Piaggio and Douglas aircraft companies.
