ITALIAN STALLION

N420JS, one of my favorite aircraft at the fly-in.  It's a SIAI-Marchetti SM.1019, basically a Cessna Bird Dog with a turboprop engine.

Nice one, Joe. I thought this was the same one that was there two years ago, but it's not.

Eyes Front Please!
No better feeling than four eyes locked on your lens as the pilot is coming up on the power to save a bounced landing!

Okay, so it's not an OV-10.  But I'll take it.

This has to be one of the coolest civil aircraft I have ever seen.  Designed by Fratelli Nardi in the 1950s and produced by SIAI-Marchetti in the 1960s, only 26 were ever built over a six year period and it is believed that less than 12 remain flyable.
