SIAI-Marchetti SF-260EA/D/EU "late bulged canony"

The SF-260 is an Italian training, sport and aerobatic aircraft found all over the world. In Europe, it served the Irish Air Corps and is still used by the air forces of Belgium and Italy. The type has been progressively developed and updated, so the latest versions differ to some extent from the earlier ones. The main difference is obvious: it is the curved rear sliding roof with a different frame. This change is most likely caused by the ever increasing size of the pilots.
