Yesterday at the Lecce-Galatina Air Base (61° Stormo) was held the ceremony of Phase Out for the MB-339A after more than 40 years of service. Its place will be taken by the T-345A (basically a modernized S-211)
The upgraded FT-339C/MB-339CD will continue to fly until 2030, when it also will be replaced by the T-345A.
I'll post some more photos and pieces of the article.
