SF.260 in 2011

One of my favorite light aircraft…the Marchetti (as I always refer to it) is such an elegant little design in my opinion, and with over 800 being built most of us are aware of them in the service of one nation or another.

With so many having been exported all around the world, I thought it would be fun to see what all we can gather about their operations nowadays.

I know the Italian Air Force fairly recently received 30 or so brand-new SF.260EA variants, while the Philippine Air Force has received several new SF.260F models (I think that’s the right variant).

Does anyone have any good information to share about other nations (or perhaps the two I mentioned)….in particular good photographs are welcome.

What about other operators such as Belgium, Burkina Faso, Turkey, and Mexico? There are others as well.
