The DC-3, the most famous of all transport aeroplanes has become known in nearly every part of the world as DAKOTA. It has been used by pratically every nation from America to the Soviet Union, by both China and all of the allies during World War II. After World War II it was used in the Berlin airlift, in Korea, during the Israeli-Arab conflicts, and finally became famous in its offensive role in Vietnam as the AC-47 GUNSHIP. The principal military version of the DC-3 was the C-47 SKYTRAIN. The C-47 could be fitted either as a trooper, with folding benches or as a heavy freighter.

The Mc Donnel Douglas F-15 is an all-weather single seat American fighter, developed with the specific goal to gain and maintain air superiority. The F-15 Eagle has been designed during the ‘70s to provide to U.S. Air Force a modern and extremely high performance advanced fighter. The F-15C is representing the more modern version and it is nowadays largely used by U.S. Air Force, U.S. National Guard, and by the Air Forces of several Countries as Japan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. The F-15 took part to the Gulf War in 1991 and it was able to guarantee the air superiority to Coalition Forces. It has been the most effective fighters with an impressive high number of enemy planes shot down. Armed with a 20mm. M61 gun it can use a wide variety of air-to-air missiles. Thanks to the two powerful Pratt & Whitney F-100 after-burring turbofans engines, the “Eagle” is able to reach the maximum speed of Mach 2.5.
The BF-109 G represents the logical evolution of the earlier F version of the well-known German fighter plane, which dominated the skies during the early stages of World War II. The aircraft was equipped with a more powerful engine in order to increase speed and flying altitude. Some planes were also equipped with increased fire power to combat big Allied bombers. By the end of 1943 the BF-109 G was the backbone of the Luftwaffe and saw action on all theaters, where it was successful in matching Allied air power until the very end of the conflict.

The Russian Yak-130, NATO code “Mitten”, is a subsonic trainer and light attack aircraft. Its cockpit can simulate the characteristics of different planes such as Su-24, Su-30 and many others. Sighting and navigation equipment allows Yak-130 to practice not only pilotage, but also all types of combat missions. If necessary, Yak-130 can also be used as a light combat aircraft, able to perform the functions of attack, reconnaissance and bombers. The plane can carry up to 3 tons of ordnance or guided ammunition on nine suspension points. It was also tested with four 500 kg KAB-500Kr underwing guided bombs. The Yak-130 is one of the best cost – effective choices for fighter pilots training and combat missions in various local conflicts.
The Su-57 is a fifth generation Russian multi-purpose jet fighter developed by the Sukhoi design bureau. The new jet with stealth technology offers a number of unique features not found in the previous generations of fighters, combining the functions of an attack aircraft and a fighter in one platform. The plane can destroy air, land and ship targets as well as the enemy's aircraft control systems. The Su-57 made its maiden flight on January 29, 2010 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur and entered service with the Russian Air Force in 2019.

This small and easy-to-handle helicopter, developed in the sixties,
proved to be a big technical and commercial success. Its reliability
and performance make it a valuable aircraft for civilian and military
operators of at least fifty different nations. This particular version
derives from the model 530 Defender and is in service with the U.S.
Army Special Forces which use it for reconnaissance and night
surveillance thanks to an infra-red night vision system, which together
with the helicopter’s low noise level make it a perfect and silent
“Night Fox”.
The Short Sunderland was one of the most famous seaplanes of World War II. It’s came into service at the end of 1938 to equip the Royal Air Force squadrons of Coastal Command. The Sunderland Mark III, introduced on the end of 1941, turned out to be the definitive Sunderland variant, with a huge number of units built. The Mk. III can be considered one of the most effective and successful weapons to counter the German U-Boots threat during the Battle of Atlantic. The flying boat patrol bomber Sunderland Mk III has been decisively improved, compared to the previous versions, with a revised hull configuration and the adoption of new patrol and submarines search equipment. Even the offensive load, which could included bombs, mines and depth charges, has been increased .The reliable 1,065 Hp Bristol Pegasus radial engines guaranteed a top speed of 336 Km/h and a range, essential feature to perform successfully sea patrol and research duties, of 2,800 km.

Tu-134UBL is a training airplane developed by the Tupolev design office in the early 1980s, based on the successful Tu-134 passenger liner with twin engines in the rear. Unlike the standard plane, the Tu-154 UBL had a special nose and radome designed to simulate the supersonic Tu-22M3 and Tu-160 bombers. This aircraft has the task to train bomber pilots to navigate, land and fly on sensor readings in simple and complicated weather conditions. Simultaneously, the Tu-134UBL provides instruction and training for up to 12 cadets located in the cabin in 3 rows. A total of 90 units were built.
