________________
The Frecce Tricolori, officially known as the 313 Gruppo Addestramento Acrocatico, is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Aeronautica Militare, based at Rivolto Air Force Base, in the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Udine). They were formed in 1961 as an Air Force Team, replacing unofficial teams that had been sponsored by various commands by the end of the 1920s.
The team flies the Aermacchi MB-339-A/PAN, a two-seat fighter-trainer craft capable of 898 km/h at sea level, with nine aircrafts and a solo.
Numberless are the awards won by the Frecce, suffice it to mention the Royal International Tattoo at Fairford (GB) and the Russian Silver Medal for Aeronautical Merit.
