Although created as a fighter it was a little too slow for the role

The G91Y was powered by two General Electric J85-13A single shaft augmented turbojets each rated at 4080lb thrust with full afterburner, as opposed to the 5000ib thrust of the Orpheus.

Hey Ampo, you forgot Portugal. This fighter equipped the PAF for more than 20years. I flew it for four years before the A7. The Fiat was a very nice aircraft but limited in range and ordnance. Nice cameras on the nose. The R3 had 2X30mm guns, very powerful.

Apologies, it IS here under the 'trainers' mantra - but of a roundabout way of finding it though.

Strange that this website has no listing for 'Aermacchi' who as many of you know produced the excellent MB 326/339 light trainers/aircraft.

This aircraft beat the F-5A freedom fighter in the nato's program for a light fighter. It was the most important fighter in germay (and in italy) for almost 20 years.
The only problem: no radar. Hawker Hunter and Dassault etendard have no radar, too.
