Ala 14 is one of Spain's combat wings, flying the Eurofighter EF-2000 Typhoon (or Tifón in Spanish) from Albacete since 2013. The wing was founded in 1974 and previously flew the Mirage F1. The badge of the wing consists of the famous Don Quijote, a fictious literary character which came to live in 1605.

Its take-off run at the start of a spectacular demonstration over the IAT 1995. This 62130 was first reported in operational duty in early 1980. First assigned to 2°Gruppo TM as a transported, but after some ten years moved to the Italian Experimental Flight Regiment (Reparto Sperimentale di Volo). It returned as a transported to 2°Gruppo TM in 1997. It was first reported as stored at Pisa in late 1999, returned to service in 2000 but then withdrawn from use on civil cargo ramp at Pisa in early 2001. It was last reported there in 2004, current status?

The triple two was first noted as 48-89 with 98°Gruppo in mid-1980. It became 46-89 with Aeritalia at Napoli in 1986 and was moved to the Italian Experimental Flight Regiment (Reparto Sperimentale di Volo) as RS-34 in late 1986. Swapped code to RS-46 in early 1989 (as pictured). Sadly, the G222 crashed as such on 22 August 1991. It crashed near San Maria Infante (Latina, Italy) folowing a propable left-engine fire. The four crew did not survive.

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. Initially carried code RS-36, but this was changed to RS-45 from Jul'89. Withdrawn from service on 7 Jul'99. Stored at Pratica di Mare, last noted there in May 2007. Status?

In July 1985, the G222 was seen stored and dismantled at Napoli-Capodichino, but later it was activated again. From September 1999, it was again seen stored and withdrawn from use on cargo ramp at Pisa-San Giusto, thn seen withourt a tail in mid-2012, and destined for the Museo Storico dell'Aeronautica Militare Italiana at Vigna di Valle, but moved as an instructional airframe to the Multinational Aircraft Recovery Training at Villafranca in 2015.

Flown by crew of the manufacturer Alenia, and marked with their titles as well as a medieval Spartan helmet with the US filling on its tail. Clearly, all for a C-27J sales tour. The 46 Brigata Aerea patch is also seen on the tail.
