The Frecce Tricolori (Italian, literally Tricolor Arrows), officially known as the 313° Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico, is the acrobatic demonstration team of the Italian Aeronautica Militare, based in Rivolto Air Force Base, in the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, province of 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 aircraft and a solo (the highest number of aircraft of any aerobatic team in the world). Photo manipulated from the original of Mike Lehman during the exhibition in Payerne, Switzerland,

Fantastic shot.
