That’s it, that was the last photo 🙂

…unlike this one, flying in wing with an Aermacchi MB.326

As the livery suggests, the pilot is a woman
This is not historical at all, but it is quite interesting nonetheless… SEA Risen, the fastest homebuilt in current production

A flight of Typhoon with tails dedicated to top scoring WW1 Italian Ace Francesco Baracca
A replica of Francesco Baracca’s Spad XIII. Does the prancing horse drawing on its fuselage look familiar to you? It was Baracca’s personal symbol, and after his death the Baracca family donated the symbol to a young Enzo Ferrari, telling him “Put this symbol on your racing cars. It will bring you luck”. The only change was the tail, moved to upright position.

Stampe et Vertongen SV.4
Cessna O-1E Bird Dog in the livery it wore when it was used as an observation and liaison plane by the Italian Army.
In Italy it is possible to see lots of airworthy Stinson L-5 Sentinel. Used by the USAAF during the liberation of Italy in WW2, they were deemed too expensive to be brought back in the USA after the war, and they were donated to the Italian Air Force. The Italian Air Force then gave them for free to various gliding clubs as towing planes, where some of them are still used.
This strange flying… thing is the AeroGallo (“Air Rooster”), a one-of-a-kind homebuilt ultralight. It even has speakers on the outside to make the rooster’s cry, and when its display ends the livery designer goes near the runway with a giant fake hunting rifle to “shoot” him down! Oh, and the pilot flies it dressed like a chicken!
Cessna 310, Tom & Jerry special livery
ERCO Ercoupe
Formation with acro glider champion Luca Bertossio, his tow plane and the Blue Voltige display duo, flying Fournier motorgliders.

A Yakovlev Yak-9 replica with an Allison engine.
The only 2 airworthy historic jets in Italy, an Aermacchi MB.326E and an Hunting Jet Provost, both of them owned, restored and flown (well, not at the same time like in this picture! 🙂 ) by Renzo Catellani, who also owns the Bird Dog which I showed some photos ago.
There were 2 airplanes which were scheduled for the show, but couldn’t participate.
One of them is the Fiat G.46, the second airplane built in Italy after WW2, which is an high performance trainer built for both the civilian and the military market.
Since it was built after WW2, it never wore this livery, which was used for a movie. Photo taken at last year’s FlyParty.
The other one is the Fiat G.59, which is a Fiat G.55 fighter reengined with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. This one is in the 2-seat training version, and was used for the fimling of the movie “U-571” with a fake Luftwaffe livery. Photo taken at the AeroParma Airshow 2013.
Thank you for watching! 🙂
