Interesting colors! One remark: according to the Scramble database (ams EMOOS) this is MM6444, not 6443. That one is supposed to be stored/dumped at teh famous Bentivoglio yard in Rome. Can you confirm 6443 is a typo?

Oh yes correct!! Sorry is my typing error Sorry please MM6444

November 26, 1994 the Italian Air Force 101° Squadron ,8° Wing (Cervia) did the last operational flight with the Yenkee and was the star "Flash 03" with different livery on both sides

You can see the photos pubblied in my book about the Italian AF sp colors aricrafts when it was still operating
