The SIAI-Marchetti SF-260 is an Italian light aircraft
marketed as an aerobatics and military trainer.
It was designed by Stelio Frati, originally for Aviamilano,
which flew the first prototype of it (then designated F-260) on July 15, 1964.
Actual production was undertaken when SIAI Marchetti
purchased the design soon thereafter and continued with this firm until the
company was bought by Aermacchi in 1997.
The military versions are popular with smaller air forces,
which can also arm it for use in the close-support role.
The PAF is known to operate between 10 to 18 units of the
this aircraft in its inventory.
