Besides a large number of standard T-33 trainers used by the AMI, the RT-33As served most of the Squadriglia Collegamenti as well as some specialised units. Originally in silver colours, they were repainted in this high visibility scheme with yellow and black stripes underneath for target interception training and target tug operations. This example was obtained from Turkey in 1957.

The Fiat C.29 was an Italian racing seaplane of which three were built especially for the 1929 Schneider Trophy air race. The first two, 129 and 130, were lost in accidents and this replacement, 130-bis, was sent directly to England without being test-flown. It did appear at RAF Calshot but was not flown during the competition, the Italian team gaining second, fourth and sixth places using Macchi M.52 and M.67 racers.

Three prototypes and 208 production aircraft were built by Piaggio up till 1943, Nardi's premises not being big enough for this work. The type was also supplied to Romania (which also licence-built them), Chile, Hungary and France.

Italy signed a licence production and development agreement for the Vampire in October 1949. After initial deliveries of British-built aircraft, licence construction by Fiat and Macchi took over. When Britain placed an embargo on exports to Egypt after Suez, 58 ex-AMI Vampires were rebuilt by Macchi, of which most were flown out but 15 shipped in crates marked as glass products. This NF.54 was used by the All-Weather Fighter School at Amendola and later preserved in Turin before moving to the Italian AF Museum.

The AMI received the first of 45 C-119Gs in 1953, these later being supplanted by 25 C-119Js from Davis Monthan storage when C-130 deliveries were subjected to delay. The last flew in 1979. This example was one of five ex Indian AF C-119Gs acquired in the Congo where the Italians were contributing to UN intervention forces. It underwent ECM conversion in 1976 and was wfu at Pratica di Mare by 1979 after service with 71° Gruppo. There is a pay box on the pavement in front of the aircraft and if you insert €2, electric motors spin the props! The whirring doesn't sound quite right though....

The Harvard was used in significant numbers by Italy and the last examples served well into the 1970s. This one was from a 1957 batch.
