Was the sole SF260 of 70°Stormo for some time and made its official last flight there on 19 September 2009 with these extra titles (other side says '1976-2009'). Actually flew at least until late October 2009 and preserved in Vigna di Valle since 2012.

The rear fuselage and tail, showing the yellowed 41°Stormo emblem, the code applied (last operational one may have been AS-6) and how the original BuNo was adopted as Matricula Militare. The small tail strut and wheel that would prevent the empannage from hitting the deck for carrier-landing S-2s can also just be seen.

Close-up of the serial applied to the SM.79 of the museum that was actually the former L-112 of the Lebanese air force, and MM45508 before that. MM24327 was really a Piaggio P.108 heavy bomber of WW2. The model is of one of three SM.79s that gained fame early in 1938 with a Rome-Dakar-Rio de Janeiro flight.

Considered the best fighter-bomber of its day, the nuclear-capable F-84F was also quite daunting to student pilots: there were no two-seaters. Delivered in 1957 and based later at Gioia del Colle as displayed.

Although somewhat compromising the exhibition of the aircraft, the way this Tracker is parked actually highly resembles how it would be done below deck on an aircraft carrier! The Italian S-2s operated from land though, and this was one of six delivered to the AMI (on behalf of the Marina Militare) at Napoli in 1957.

Fiat designed the G.80 for the same role as the T-33, but performance fell short despite good handling in flight. After two prototypes, three preproduction aircraft followed. This is the second one of those, with a forward fuselage part of a G.82, a further development that did not enter production either.

Fiat designed the G.80 for the same role as the T-33, but performance fell short despite good handling in flight. After two prototypes, three preproduction aircraft followed. This is the second one of those, with a forward fuselage part of a G.82, a further development that did not enter production either.

Ambrosini took its 1939 S.7 racing aircraft as a starting point to develop a small series of experimental airplanes. This started with the implementation of swept wings and tail surface in the early 1950s, followed by fitting a jet engine to the still wooden taildragger airframe. The resulting Sagittario (Archer) was then followed in 1956 by this all-metal Sagittario 2 with tricycle gear. This was the first Italian aircraft to break through Mach 1. On display is the second prototype, a static test frame.

The Ariete was the follow-up to Aerfer's Sagittario 2 and the final model of a line that started with the 1939 wooden, taildragging S.7 racing aircraft. The main difference with Sagittario 2 was the added secondary engine, with retractable dorsal air intake and tail exhaust. Test flight results in March 1958 were unsatisfactory and construction was abandoned after this second prototype.

In the PAN version of the G.91, the guns have been replaced by counterweights, and pitch dampers and the smoke system have been added, all especially for use by the 313° Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico, better known as the "Frecce Tricolori".

Built for an air race in 1939, the SAI.7 evolved into the SAI.7T and S.7 trainer and tourist aircraft during and after WW2. The final version, this Super S.7 armed trainer, never got further than two prototypes.
