The Italian Air Force unveiled today the Special Color made for the 85th anniversary of the 155th Gruppo (Squadron) Black Panthers of the 6th Stormo (Wing), established on Jan. 15, 1941.
The aircraft, MM7054/6-100, made its first flight in the new color scheme a couple of days ago and is currently at Piacenza Air Base for the reunion of the Black Panthers.
Here’s a clip shot by my friend Sabrina Zucchelli at Ghedi.
I’m proud to have had the honor of being a Black Panther for a day when I took part in a training SEAD mission in a Tornado ECR in 2022.
can’t believe that a few American F-14s now actually have a good chance to come back 🥹would be crazy if some of the remaining persian tomcats survived the war and were put in museums
