Palm Springs Parade of Planes Aermacchi MB-326 Impala (#0023)

One of the frustrating things about the Parade of Planes was the absence of any information on the planes. This looked to be an aircraft that would have been used in training for military pilots, not the sort of civil aviation I was expecting to see in the parade. Fortunately I was able to search the number (see nearby picture) and see that this was designed as a jet training aircraft.
