Hi all;
Last weekend I headed to Rivolto air base in Italy for a chance to see some seemingly rare nowadays Italian Air Force hardware in action. With most of Europe’s elite display teams also taking part in the Frecci Tricolori’s 50th anniversary show it promised to be a good weekend of action. In a fantastic setting with some glorious weather I ‘m sure no one was left disappointed.
These are a selection of photo’s from both show days so I hope you enjoy…..
Thanks for looking;
Kevin

Typhoon demo with added smoke…..
The Spanish seemed keen to remind everyone who won the World Cup!
Italian AMX display
The Swiss looking very much at home….
Great to see a proper Tornado display……
Croatian Wings of Storm continuing to spread their wings around Europe….
Italian C-27 Spartan getting into those funny positions again…
Even our own Reds joined the party, all be it a day late due to their RAF Leuchars appearance.
A couple of Italian rarities ….
And the French were present too…
Team Iskra from Poland….
Italian AB212 opening the show with a bit of flag waving…
Has any air force actually ordered any of these as the prototypes seem to have been around for ever?
And of course the Frecci Tricolori themselves in a past and current form….
Thanks again,
Kevin

Very nice shots. I was thinking of going to this one at the begining of the year, but opted for the Malmen show in Sweden instead.
What a great backdrop Rivolto has, not to mention the best display team in the world.... only my own opinion...

Lovely shots far better than my own. A great show. Only omission appears to be Flat Eric flying with the Swiss who unless I am mistaken appears to be wearing a Red Arrows flight suit.

A few years ago, the Reds stole Flat Eric during a show and returned a while later with a Red Arrows flightsuit.
