The Fiat G -91 was an interesting project, designed in the '50s by the Italian
engineer Giuseppe Gabrielli , to develop a light fighter bomber able to perform
ground close support and reconnaissance duties. The project was particularly
appreciate by several NATO Countries looking for a light, small, low cost, but
reliable and maneuverable strike fighter. Further more some pre-production
converted machines were used by Italian aerobatic team, the Frecce Tricolori,
and knew as G-91 PAN. The G-91, equipped with smoke generators replaced, in
1963, the rather old F-86 Sabre, and equipped the flight line of aerobatic team
for almost 20 years. With the characteristic “Frecce Tricolori” blue livery, the
G-91 PAN was the protagonist of the most important airshows and events in the
‘60s and ‘70s. Only after 20 years of success, in the early ‘80s, the G- 91 was
replaced by the new Aermacchi MB-339.
