Test flight over southern Piedmont for an Italian Navy Lockheed Martin F-35B escorted by an Italian Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon (callsign SPERA51) departed both from Cameri AB.

The Final Assembly and Check-Out (FACO) line in Cameri, near Novara where Italian and Dutch F-35s are assembled. The Division also produces full wings for aircraft assembled in U.S., using composite and metal structures manufactured in Foggia and Nola plants (Aerostructures Division) and Venegono (Aircraft Division). U.S. Government selected Cameri’s plant as European Regional Heavy Airframe Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul & Upgrade  (MRO&U) Center.
