EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the Aeritalia G.222VS MM62107 (msn 4012) of the Italian Air Force's 14 Stormo, 8th Gruppo, as it stood proudly at Pratica di Mare Air Base around the turn of the millennium. The G.222VS, or "Versione Speciale," was a special version of the Aeritalia G.222 transport aircraft, specifically designed for Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) warfare. The Italian Air Force's 14 Stormo, or "Stormo" meaning "Wing," is a transport wing that operates a fleet of various aircraft types for the Italian military. The 8th Gruppo, or "Group," is a specialized unit within the wing, responsible for electronic warfare and electronic intelligence gathering. The Aeritalia G.222 is a versatile twin-engine turboprop transport aircraft, which entered service with the Italian Air Force in the late 1980s. This particular aircraft, MM62107, was modified for ECM warfare, equipped with advanced electronic systems to detect and jam enemy radar and communication systems. The photograph captures the distinctive markings and camouflage of the Italian Air Force, with the 14 Stormo and 8th Gruppo insignia proudly displayed on the fuselage. The aircraft's engines are visible, with exhaust plumes rising into the sky, indicating recent activity. The overall impression is one of a well-maintained and ready-to-deploy military aircraft, poised to carry out its vital role in protecting Italian airspace. This photograph is part of The Tony Lovelock Collection, a comprehensive archive of aviation imagery from around the world. It offers a unique insight into the Italian Air Force's transport capabilities and its commitment to maintaining a modern and effective fleet for the 21st century.
