The Frecce Tricolori are one of the symbols that distinguish our Nation, not merely in terms of their outward representation but also by virtue of their solid contribution in support of it. The aerobatic maneuvers of the ten MB.339’s of the Italian Aerobatic Team are an astounding display of precision, synchrony, harmony and elegance, a supreme aesthetic representation of the art of aerobatic flight. This is not the result of some ephemeral exercise which is nothing more than an end unto itself. It is the exemplary product of an incredibly effective team effort whose accomplishments are based on intensive training, humility, dedication, pride and a sense of responsibility in belonging to a group that honors the name of Italy and champions everywhere the values of a Country with a millennial history and culture, a defender of democracy and civil coexistence.
