Originally designed as the FIAT G222 but now updated and much better known as the C-27J Spartan, this small transport is a very sprightly performer with full aerobatic manoeuvres in the Italian Air Force's flying display on the type. This Italian Air Force example displays the logo of the air arm's centenary on its tail, in the static at RIAT 2023 as part of the celebration of that anniversary. The world's largest military airshow, with participants from around the globe, RIAT is a must each year for UK aviation enthusiasts at least.
