HUGE ITALIAN CONFIRMATION FOR RIAT 2018

Frecce Tricolori and Reparto Sperimentale Volo aircraft will thrill the crowds at the 2018 Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford.

Huge Italian confirmation for RIAT 2018.

The Italian Air Force will be attending the 2018 Air Tattoo with a fantastic commitment of four flying acts and five aircraft in the static display.

The national aerobatic team, the Frecce Tricolori, will be entertaining visitors with their colourful and dynamic flying display. Also taking to the skies will be a Typhoon fighter, T-346 Master jet trainer and the impressively manoeuvrable C-27J Spartan transport aircraft, capable of loops and rolls during its display!

Italy will also be showcasing the C-27J and Typhoon on the ground, alongside a Tornado ground attack fighter and two helicopters, the HH-101 and HH-139.

The T-346 manufacturer, Leonardo, was confirmed last week as sending an example of the aircraft into the static display. There are also now five examples of the C-27J attending the Air Tattoo; two from Italy and one each from Lithuania, Romania and Slovakia.
