Notes:
[1800px] Preserved at Italian Air Force museum of Vigna di Valle. The BR-1150 Atlantic, a patrol twin-turboprop produced in Europe, was primarily intended for the discovery, tracking and neutralization of submarines and secondarily for maritime reconnaissance in general. All this thanks to the specific capabilities of the aircraft in terms of autonomy, aptitude for flying at very low altitudes and the availability of multiple sensors and communication devices that have allowed it to easily patrol very large areas that otherwise cannot be explored except with the use of numerous others naval and air vehicles The first of the 18 "Atlantic" destined for the Italian Antisom Departments was delivered to the 41 ° Stormo on June 27, 1972. Of these 18 aircraft, 9 were supplied to the 41 ° Stormo and 9 to the 30 ° Stormo of Cagliari Elmas. On 1 August 2002, following the dissolution of the 30th Stormo, the Component was merged into the 41st Stormo, becoming the only Antisom reality of the Italian Armed Forces. Over time, while maintaining all its peculiarities and capabilities, it has passed from a mainly anti-submarine and anti-ship activity, typical of the "cold war", to an activity of merchant traffic control, patrolling and optical and electronic reconnaissance of the areas of interest, also in the context of operations against international terrorism as well as an activity aimed at controlling illegal immigration flows in the Mediterranean, guaranteeing the daily coverage of large areas of interest, the timely localization of refugees at sea, alerting the bodies in charge and constant and emergency SAR (search and rescue) intervention in the event of a maritime accident and shipwreck of the same. The model on display, after 45 years of honorable career on behalf of the Italian Air Force, made its last flight on Wednesday 22 November 2017. It wears the special "The last one 1972-2017" livery.
