The Gruppo Aeromodellistico Tarantino (G.A.T.) is a nonprofit amateur sports association founded in 1977 to promote aeromodelling in the Taranto area. With around 40 members on average each year, the club welcomes enthusiasts of different ages and experience levels, bringing them together through radio-controlled flight, model building and shared learning. Members fly fixed-wing aircraft, multirotors and model helicopters, with an emphasis on operational safety and compliance with applicable regulations.

G.A.T. offers radio-control pilot training for newly enrolled beginners. Experienced instructors guide students step by step toward independent flight. Activities take place at the Mario Lomartire flying field near Taranto, in the Salina Grande area. The site includes parking and an asphalt runway more than 100 metres long, supporting a range of models and events. The club also shares news, event reports, technical information, construction plans, videos and resources on model building and restoration. Describing itself as a community built on friendship, collaboration and a passion for flight, G.A.T. provides a place for members to develop their skills and enjoy aeromodelling together.
