The aircraft has not already received the necessary modifications for its transformation into a CAEW but it has painted in new military colours.

The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) approved a possible foreign military sale to the Italian government of two Gulfstream G550 CAEW on December 15, 2020.

The aircraft that arrived this morning in Italy was delivered to a private customer ( S/N 5559, reg. N1777U) in 2017
