F-104S MM6722 moved to Castel Del Rio

Seen for many years preserved at Lecce as "9-10", this F-104 disappeared a while ago. Early 2005 it had been restored at Grazzanise by using the F-104S/ASA-M MM6722 code 5-31 and by mounting a good tail once belonging to F-104S/ASA-M MM6939. In September 2005 it surprisingly appeared being on display at Lecce-Galatina (LIBN) with code "9-10".
Now the aircraft had been taken away from Lecce and it received a well deserved treatment with fresh paint, and keeping its code "9-10". In July 2025 it appeared at the Museo della Guerra di Castel del Rio, Italy. It was officially revealed at its new location on July 12th by a big audience of citizens and military. It is great that people still respect the aviation history and the value of this wonderful aircraft!!

Congratulations, what a great job!!!!
