sheds based on the Western side of the Bracciano Lake, close to the ItAF sports mind boggling, in the old seapane station of Vigna di Valle, the most seasoned Italian flying site, a spot that turned into the main Experimental Aviation Shipyard. It was here that the main Italian military carrier, the N.1, was worked in 1908 by Crocco and Ricaldoni. Afterward, the air terminal filled in as the Experimental Seaplane and Naval Armament Center up until 1945. It was the base camp of the 88th Maritime Fighter Group and after the conflict it turned into the Search and Rescue Command, home for the 84th Seaplane Group. Vigna di Valle facilitated an Italian CRP (Reporting and Control Center) that was subsequently moved to Poggio Ballone 

The enormous piece follows the historical backdrop of Aviation in Italy, from the beginnings of flight (with the representations of Leonardo da Vinci in regards to flight), passing to the monoplanes utilized in WWI and WWII until now. Specific areas are committed to aircrafts (and specifically to Gen. Umberto Nobile who flew over the North Pole with the "Norge"); to the historical backdrop of the flight gear; to the time of Balbo Cruises, when Italian seaplanes crossed the Atlantic Ocean in line to arrive at the US or S. America or traveled to the Far East; to the Schneider Cup rivalry, with the MC.72 the hydro-racer that in 1934 fixed the outright speed record (still unbeaten for this class) at 709.202 km/h.
The Padiglione (Pavilion) "Troster", is the first of the four structures of the Museum whose surface (1200 sqm) has models going from the trailblazers of trip to the start of WWII. Curiously, this shelter is the most established of Italy: it was worked by the Austrians during WWI and given to Italy toward the finish of the conflict. It was generally utilized for the send off and recuperation of the seaplanes from the lake.

The Padiglione "Velo" was implicit just 200 days among January and May 1977. It has a surface of 3600 sqm and hosts planes of the WWII like the MC.200, the MC.202, the MC.205 and the Fiat CR32 and CR42.

The Padiglione "Badoni" (from the organization which assembled it in 1930), is a 60×66 mt overhang that was utilized until 1959 by the 84th Gruppo's CANT Z. 506S, when the unit got the Grumman HU-16 and moved to Ciampino. An "Albatros" is right now shown external this overhang facilitating additionally a DC-3 utilized for transportation and Radio Calibration undertakings and a P-51D "Colt", the best WWII contender. The Padiglione "Skema" is a storage with 2 stories (3000 and 1000 sqm) that was worked by the Skema organization and was opened in 1986. In this huge shelter (80 x 40 mt) F-104, G-91R and Y, MB.326, Tornado F.3, S-2 "Traker", Agusta AB-47 and Lockheed RT-33 (and numerous other airplane) are displayed.

Coming up next is a 360° all encompassing image of the Italian Air Force Museum:

February 2009The Skema overhang is shut for expansion and support works.However, I figured out how to get a couple of image of it from the close by Padiglione "Badoni". As may be obvious, the airplane have been moved, a couple are scarcely noticeable and many were most likely moved somewhere else.
