Alenia Aermacchi M-345

[Cy-27]

This one passed me by last year - the Alenia Aermacchi M-311 was last year re-designated the M-345.

Still a turbofan military trainer aircraft, it's a development of the earlier SIAI Marchetti S.211/Aermacchi S-211 with structural and internal equipment improvements.

From Aerei magazine,


here is a comparison between SIAI-Marchetti S.211 and Aermacchi M.345.

I'm surprised, the mods look more than superficial. Alenia must believe there is a market for this.
