Hi guys,
yesterday the second A319CJ has been delivered to Aeronautica Militare Italiana (Italian Air Force).
I live in Ciampino, Rome second airport and home of the 31st Stormo (Wing) of the Italian Air Force which is responsible for VIP transport and I saw it when I left my office.
They received the first A319CJ the 4th of March and this is the second and last example ordered to replace the two old DC9-32.
AMI choose CFM56 engines, probably because this is the type of engine used on Alitalia A320/A321 fleet.
