Hi guys, I'm the owner of N61FD, thanks for taking the great picture! The plane has just had a 2 year rebuild in California following an accident. Almost all of the metalwork is new, so we decided to have a new colour scheme too, which was designed for us by Jet Studios. We wanted to keep the classic Frati "swoop" down the side, but with a twist. Given its an Italian aeroplane, then obvious idea was to incorporate an Italian flag. I think they've made a great job of it - and she flies like a dream too.

Anyway, glad you like it!
