This aircraft is part of batch of 25 C-119J that were in storage at Davis Monthan and that were bought by the Italian Air Force to complement the then existing fleet of C-119G. They were delivered in the early months of 1964. This serial was withdrawn from use in 1973 and stored in Caselle. After a lot of years in Caselle, in 2007 it was transferred in Veneto. But it was never restored and after changing some locations it was sadly parted out and definitively scrapped in 2020. It was the last J remaining in Italy
