Frequently Asked Questions — Aermacchi
What Aermacchi aircraft are available for civilian use?
Aermacchi (now Leonardo) is best known for the SF.260 piston trainer and MB-339 jet trainer. The SF.260 is the most common civilian Aermacchi — 870+ built for 27 air forces, with surplus examples available for private owners. The MB-339 is a tandem-seat jet trainer used by the Italian Frecce Tricolori aerobatic team. Both are primarily military aircraft that occasionally become available on the civilian warbird market.
Is the Aermacchi MB-339 practical for civilian ownership?
The MB-339 is a fully aerobatic single-engine jet trainer described as robust, low-maintenance, and easy to fly with outstanding agility. However, civilian operation requires significant resources: jet-rated pilot, specialized maintenance, turbine fuel costs, and potentially restricted airport access. The aircraft excels in the warbird jet niche for airshow performers and formation teams. Surplus availability depends on military retirement schedules.
How does Aermacchi relate to Leonardo and SIAI-Marchetti?
Aermacchi merged into Alenia Aermacchi, which became part of Leonardo (formerly Finmeccanica). SIAI-Marchetti was a separate Italian manufacturer whose SF.260 is now under Leonardo's umbrella. The M-346 Master is Leonardo's current jet trainer, succeeding the MB-339. For buyers, this means Leonardo provides factory support for both the SF.260 and MB-339 product lines through its legacy divisions.
