MB 326

This small, manageable trainer, used by pilots to make the switch from propeller aircraft to jets, was built for the Italian air force in the late 50s/early 60s. Simple and tough, extremely manageable and easy to fly, it soon became one of the Italian aeronautical industry’s “best sellers”, enjoying considerable export success.
. Several versions of the MB 326 saw service with the Australian and South African air forces. There, as in Italy, it has only recently been replaced by more modern aircraft.
