One of my favorite captures ever. (Shooting from the hip!) There's obviously a story here, and perhaps I'll tell it someday. But it may be awhile before my wife finds it as humorous as I now do. ;)
The MB.326 trainer is the most widely built jet of Italian design. With univer- sally appreciated handling qualities, it is still in service in many countries. Developed by Ermanno Bazzocchi (1914-2005) from 1953, the MB.326 had its key strengths in its excellent training qualities, simplicity and low cost. The prototype was built in just 18 months and was flown by Guido Cares- tiato (1911-1980) from Venegono on 10 December 1957. Production to- taled 762 aircraft, including 413 under license in Australia, Brazil and South Africa, where it helped create domestic aviation industries and equipped aerobatic teams.
