This year the Italian Air Force display team Frecce Tricolori celebrated the 55th Anniversary since its foundation.
To celebrate this event, a unusually (for Italy) big airshow was organized on their homebase, Rivolto military airport.
The Italian Air Force showed almost all its airplanes, and several foreign display teams and airplanes were invited.

A wonderful celebration of a fine aerobatic team. For me there’s never been much to choose between the Red Arrows, the Patroulle and the Frecce.

Great set of pictures, and what a marvellous selection of aircraft.

A flight of Typhoon with tails dedicated to top scoring WW1 Italian Ace Francesco Baracca
A replica of Francesco Baracca’s Spad XIII. Does the prancing horse drawing on its fuselage look familiar to you? It was Baracca’s personal symbol, and after his death the Baracca family donated the symbol to a young Enzo Ferrari, telling him “Put this symbol on your racing cars. It will bring you luck”. The only change was the tail, moved to upright position.
F-2000 Typhoon
