Partenavia Fachiro
The Partenavia P.57 Fachiro is an Italian, four-seat, high-wing, touring monoplane, fitted with a fixed tricycle undercarriage. Design and development
The P.57 was designed and built by Partenavia. The Lycoming O-320 powered Fachiro I first flew on 7 November 1958, followed by the Fachiro II, on 3 January 1959. A later version, designated the II-f, introduced a swept fin and rudder. The Fachiro utilises mixed steel tube-and-fabric construction and is fitted with a  engine for aero club and general aviation use. A one-off, all-metal version, the P.64 Fachiro III, was further developed as the P.64 Oscar. Seven examples of the Fachiro IIf version remained in operation within Italy during spring 2009. Variants
