Four of the five are equipped with the Eurofighter Typhoon while the fifth is the XIII Gruppo (13th Squadron) CACCIA (Hunting) / 32 (Stormo) Wing and Italy's first unit equipped with the F-35A Lightning II. For the occasion F-35As MM7336/32-05 and the MM7357/32-07 were given special markings on the left side tail only. It depicts Don Quixote, the number 100 and the dates 1917-2017. These F-35As were built at Plant Cameri FACO.

Lockheed F-35A Lightning II

Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history.
