The real plane
The Fiat G.91 was an Italian jet fighter aircraft. It entered in operational service with the Italian Air Force
in 1961, with the West German Luftwaffe, in 1962, and later with the Portuguese Air Force. It was in
production for 19 years. 756 aircraft were completed, including the prototypes and pre-production
models. The Fiat G.91 enjoyed a long service life that extended over 35 years.
The Fiat G.91 have served for many years with the Italian aerobatic team, the Frecce Tricolori as the G.91
PAN. The Frecce Tricolori (literally Tricolour Arrows), officially known as the 313° Gruppo Addestramento
Acrobatico, is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Aeronautica Militare, based at Rivolto Air
Force Base. They were formed in 1961 as an Air Force team. On 28 December 1963 the "Frecce Tricolori"
received the first of about twenty of the new light tactic fighter jet, the Fiat G.91, duly modified for
aerobatic training. Among the main changes made to this aircraft, called the G.91PAN, was the addition
of a smoke–producing device fueled by subwing tanks and special counterweights installed in place of
onboard weapons. For the first time, since the end of World War II, an aerobatic team was equipped with
a fighter aircraft entirely designed and produced in Italy. With the delivery of the G.91PAN the "Frecce
Tricolori" developed two different flight schemes – high and low flight, the later adopted in case of
adverse weather conditions – which included well-known figures such as the Cardioid, the Double
Tonneau, the Arizona, the Bomb and subsequently the Apollo 313. With the G.91 the "Frecce Tricolori"
pilots could give their best and gained great popularity in Italy as well as overseas, rightfully placing
themselves among the greatest aerobatic teams in the world. The G91 equipped the Pattuglia Acrobatica
Nazionale (National Aerobatic Team) for 18 glorious years, during which the "Frecce Tricolori" pilots
received honors and recognition all over the world and in 1982 the G.91PAN was finally replaced by the
MB339PAN...
